Purpose An operating room may be designed and equipped to provide care to patients with a range of conditions or it may be designed and equipped to provide specialized care to the patients. Surgical Conscience “DO NOT DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU”  PERIOPERATIVE PERIOD 1. PREOPERATIVE PHASE Starts when an informed consent for surgery has given until the time patients is place in the surgical table. 2. INTRAOPERATIVE PHASE Starts from the patients being place on the surgical table until patient recovery room. 3. POSTOPERATIVE PHASE Begins when the clients is admitted in the ward and extend through follow up or clinic evaluation.  CONDITIONS REQUIRING SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS 1. EROSION Condition where surface of a tissue are worn or eaten away Wearing off blood vessel wall, when it happen the individuals is prone to bleeding, anemia like to set in. 2. OBSTRUCTION Condition where arteries and tubes are clogged or blocked. Passageway of vital substances like blood, oxygen, spinal fluid and urine are obstructed. 3. PERFORATION Rupture or break in the walls of organ. 4. TUMORS Abnormal growth of tissue.  2 DEGREE OF RISK/MAGNITUDE OR EXTENT/ OR TYPE OF OPERATIONS 1.

There is loss of ability to maintain ventilator function, like wise cardiovascular function maybe impaired Cause of depression  TYPES OF ANESTHESIA General anesthesia Balanced anesthesia Local or regional block anesthesia Spinal or epidural anesthesia  GENERAL ANESTHESIA Action When the anesthetic takes the form of an inhalant or introduced through iv push, it breaks the association of pathways in the cerebral cortex it will lead more or less of lack sensory perception and motor function Different levels of unconsciousness ❑ Induction stage ❑ Excitement stage ❑ Operative stage ❑ Danger stage  TECHNIQUES IN ADMINISTRATING ANESTHESIA Inhalation- mask inhalation endotracheal TIVA (Total intravenous administration) nsg intervention give local anesthesia and slow IV push.  COMPLICATION OF G.A Aspiration- due to depression of pharyngeal and laryngeal reflex Massester muscle rigidity (MMR) LOCKJAW Malignant hyperthermia – resulting from calcium levels in muscle cells and muscle metabolism serum calcium and serum metabolism is lead metabolic and acidosis problem. Hypoxia - bought by excitement coughing holding of breath vomiting and laryngospasm death. Cardiac dysrhythmias- cause of excessive of suctioning through the endotracheal tubing.  BALANCED ANESTHESIA Neuroleptic analgesia is a state of intense analgesia and amnesia achieved by administering a combination of narcotic and neuroleptic drugs. Methods of administration Balanced anesthesia is accomplished by combine iv admin and inhalation of drugs Adverse effect balanced ❑ It may produce a detached apathetic stage/ state ❑ It may affect the behavior and attitude of the client postoperatively to client manifest anger irritably preoccupation lead to dead  LOCAL AND REGIONAL ANESTHESIA Topical application- the anesthetic is applied directly to the skin. Onset within a minute. Local infiltration- the drugs is injected intracutaneously and subcutaneously into the tissues and around the incisional site and black sensory nerve stimuli after origin.  Regional anesthesia ❑ Loss of sensation in particular body part is produced by inhibiting the transmission of sensory nerve impulses to the area/ specific nerve Nerve block ❑ Is the injection of an anesthetic drug into and around a nerve group of nerves in the involved area.  SPINAL AND EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA ❑ This type of regional anesthesia where the drug is delivered to selected area referred to as dermatomes to prevent motor and sensory sensation. Spinal and epidural anesthesia is injected between the l3 and l4 levels Spinal anesthesia - (or intrathecal block) prevents the transmission of impulses at the spinal ganglia and motor roots Epidural anesthesia- involves injection into the epidural space which lies between the Dura meter the outermost sheath covering the spinal cord and the walls of the vertebral column.  COMPLICATIONS OF SPINAL AND EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA Transient or permanent neurologic complication from 4 th trauma and loss of spinal fluid with intracranial pressure syndrome Ruptured nucleus pulposus True spinal headache causes by persistent CSF leak through the needle hole in the dura. Respiratory paralysis medullary hyperfusion causes by sympathetic block Hypotension brought by circulatory depressant effect and stasis of blood SURGICAL NEEDLES  THE COMMON CAUSES OF FEARS OF THE PREOPERATIVE CLIENT ARE AS FOLLOWS: Fear of the unknown. Fear of anesthesia Fear of pain Fear of death Fear of disturbance of body image Fear and worries from loss of finances  THE NURSE SHOULD ASSESS THE PATIENT FOR MANIFESTATIONS OF FEARS THAT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: Anxiousness Bewilderment Anger Tendency to exaggerate Sadness, evasiveness, tearfulness, and clinging behavior Inability to concentrate Short attention span. Failure to carry out simple directions  THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS: WRITTEN INFORMED CONSENT (OPERATIVE PERMIT, SURGICAL PERMIT) The purposes of the written informed consent are as follows: 1. To ensure that the client understands the nature of the treatment including the potential complications and disfigurement. These are explained by the surgeon. 2. To indicate that the client's decision was made without pressure. 3. To protect the client against unauthorized procedure 4. To protect the surgeon and the hospital against legal action by a client who claims that an unauthorized procedure was performed.  THE CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRING WRITTEN INFORMED CONSENT ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Any surgical procedure where scalpel, scissors, suture, hemostats or electrocoagulation may be used. 2. Any invasive procedure, or procedure that involves entry into a body cavity. Eg paracentesis, bronchoscopy, cystoscopy. Colonoscopy, proctosigmoidoscopy. 3. Any procedure that involves general anesthesia, local infiltration anesthesia or regional block anesthesia.  THE REQUISITES FOR VALIDITY OF WRITTEN INFORMED CONSENT ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Written permit/ consent is best and is legally acceptable. 2. The physician is responsible for obtaining patient's consent. 3. Patient's signature is obtained with the client's complete understanding of what is to occur, what is the treatment to be done and possible consequences, alternative treatments and possible consequences, risks and benefits of each treatment options. Adults sign their own consent unless he/she is physically and mentally incapacitated. If the patient is a child or minor (below 18 years old). the parent or legal guardian will sign the consent. 4. Consent is obtained before sedation. 5. The patient is not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 6. The consent is secured without pressure or duress. 7. Signature of witness is required. The nurse, physician or other authorized persons may sign as witness. 8. In an emergency situation, to preserve life or to prevent serious impairment to life and the individual patient is in capable of giving consent, the next of kin may give consent. If reaching the next of kin is not possible, the physician may institute treatment without written consent from the patient or relative. Two physicians sign the consent and document the medical necessity of the procedure. 9. Emancipated minors are allowed to sign written consent. Emancipated minors are those who are married, those who live on their own or financially independent from their parents. 10. The patient is aware that consent, even when signed can be withdrawn at any time.  THE PHYSICAL PREPARATION OF THE PATIENT BEFORE SURGERY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: 1. Correcting any dietary deficiencies. 2. Reducing an obese person's weight, as time permits. 3. Correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalances. 4. Restoring adequate blood volume with blood transfusion. 5. Treating chronic diseases - DM, heart disease, renal insufficiency, bleeding disorders. 6. Treating any infectious process. 7. Treating an alcoholic person with vitamin supplementation, IV fluids or oral fluids, if dehydrated.  PRE-OPERATIVE TEACHING Patient has the right to know what to expect and how to participate effectively during the surgical experience. Preoperative teaching increases patient satisfaction and may reduce postoperative fear, anxiety and stress. Teaching may also decrease complications, the duration of hospitalization and the recovery time following discharge. In some surgical settings, patients arrive only a short time before scheduled surgery like in ambulatory surgery and patients who will be hospitalized postoperatively Preoperative teaching is generally done in the surgeon's office or preadmission surgical clinic and reinforced on the day of surgery.  In some situations, the patient had been admitted several days before surgery for treatment of certain disease conditions. The best time to do preoperative teaching in this situation is in the afternoon or evening before the scheduled surgery Generally, preoperative teaching includes three types of information sensory, process and procedural.  SENSORY INFORMATION Holding area may be noisy, Drugs and cleaning solutions may be smelled. Operating room (OR) can be cold, warm blankets are available Talking may be heard in the OR but may be distorted because of masks. Questions should be asked if something is not understood. OR bed will be narrow. A safety strap will be applied over the knees Lights in the OR may be very bright. Monitoring machines (ticking and ringing noises) may be heard when awake. The purpose is to monitor and ensure safety  OR INTRUMENTS Straight scissor Myo scissor curved Metzembum scissor Scalpel holder Bobcock Tissue forcep Allis Thumb forcep Towel clamps Kelly curve Kelly straight Mixter Deaver wide Army navy Ribbon or malleable Richardson Balfour CAUTERY MACHINE AUTOCLAVE OPERATING ROOM
