Study Notes
Surgical Procedures and Phases of Care
- Surgical procedures are classified based on the degree of seriousness or risk, urgency, and risk factors such as malnutrition, advanced age, and cardiac conditions.
- Settings for surgery include inpatient and ambulatory (outpatient) settings, as well as advanced techniques like laser and fiberoptic surgery.
- The preoperative phase involves obtaining informed consent, performing diagnostic tests, and obtaining medical clearance.
- Preoperative teaching covers general information, gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular systems, and pain management.
- The transfer to the operating room involves specific preparations, including removing jewelry, securing dentures, and administering pre-op medications.
- Intraoperatively, the circulating nurse coordinates activities, while the scrub nurse handles surgical instruments and supplies.
- Anesthesia can be general (inhalation or intravenous), regional (medication around peripheral nerves), or conscious sedation.
- The postoperative phase in the PACU involves immediate ABC assessments, temperature assessment, monitoring IV fluids and other tubes/drains, and pain management.
- Patients are transferred to the surgical unit from the PACU once stable, with a report given to the floor nurse.
- Postoperative floor assessments and interventions focus on the respiratory system, including preventing pneumonia and atelectasis through chest PT and deep breathing exercises.
- The key to the preoperative phase is obtaining informed consent and performing diagnostic tests.
- The intraoperative phase involves coordinating activities by the circulating nurse and handling surgical instruments and supplies by the scrub nurse.
