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.
