Introduction to Perioperative Nursing
- Surgery has become a commonly utilized method for treating diseases and improving health in modern society.
- Increased complexity of surgical procedures allows for entire organ systems to be transplanted.
- All surgeries can affect functional abilities, with impacts ranging from temporary to permanent.
- Perioperative nursing aims to help patients and their families achieve or exceed pre-procedural wellness.
- Essential for perioperative nurses to have knowledge of surgical care and an understanding of related disease processes.
- Quality care in perioperative nursing requires the application of the nursing process and multifaceted nursing roles.
Perioperative Period Phases
- Preoperative Phase: Begins with client admission to the surgical unit and ends when the client is transported to the operating room, involving physical, psychosocial, spiritual, and legal preparation.
- Intraoperative Phase: Starts when the client enters the operating room and lasts until they are transferred to the Recovery Room (RR) or Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) after anesthesia administration and surgery.
- Postoperative Phase: Encompasses the time from admission to recovery until discharge and includes follow-up care.
Conditions Requiring Surgical Interventions
- Obstruction: Impediment to vital fluid flow such as blood or urine.
- Perforation: Rupture of an organ, e.g., appendicitis.
- Erosion: Wearing away of surfaces, e.g., peptic ulcers.
- Tumors: Presence of abnormal growths, e.g., tumorous tissues in the breast or lungs.
Classification of Surgical Procedures
- Diagnostic: Confirming the disease, such as biopsies.
- Exploratory: Determining disease extent, e.g., exploratory laparotomy.
- Curative Surgeries: Intended to treat conditions:
- Ablative: Removal of an organ, indicated by suffix "-ectomy" (e.g., appendectomy).
- Constructive: Repair of congenital defects, indicated by suffixes like "-plasty" (e.g., cheiloplasty).
- Reconstructive: Repair of damaged organs, such as in severe burn cases.
- Palliative: Alleviating symptoms without aiming for a cure (e.g., colostomy).
Risk Classification of Surgical Procedures
- Major Surgery: Involves high risk of morbidity/mortality and significant blood loss. Examples include craniotomy and open-heart surgery.
- Criteria include prolonged duration and manipulation of vital organs.
- Minor Surgery: Generally low risk and not prolonged, examples include appendectomy and tonsillectomy.
