Study Notes
Post-Operative Care and Complications
- Post-operative care includes monitoring for return of gag reflex and bowel sounds before giving food to the patient.
- Respiratory system teaching involves using incentive spirometer, coughing, deep breathing, and splinting techniques to prevent atelectasis.
- Cardiovascular system teaching includes leg exercises, sequential compression devices, anti-emboli stockings, and early ambulation to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump is filled with controlled substances like morphine, which decreases respiratory rate and requires constant evaluation of respirations.
- Pre-operative preparation involves transferring the patient to the operating room with specific guidelines, such as removing jewelry, securing dentures, and administering pre-op meds only after checking consent form.
- Anesthesia options include general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and conscious sedation, each with specific effects on the patient's consciousness and pain management.
- Post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) provides immediate recovery and stabilization for patients who had general anesthesia, need constant observation, and may require extubation.
- Complications to monitor for include adventitious lung sounds, hemorrhagic shock, hypoxia, and signs of circulatory overload or shock.
- Transfer to the surgical unit requires a medical doctor's order, and the PACU nurse gives a report to the floor nurse before transporting the patient.
- Post-operative assessments involve monitoring respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, gastrointestinal, fluid and electrolyte, wound, and blood therapy status to prevent complications.
- Blood therapy includes specific procedures for transfusions, monitoring for reactions, and preventing complications such as pneumonia, cardiovascular issues, and shock.
- Cardiovascular complications may include restlessness, anxiety, tachycardia, and decreased blood pressure, which could be signs of hemorrhage or hypovolemic shock.
