4 Multiple Choice Question A nurse schedules surgery to remove a sebaceous cyst from a patient s leg. This surgery is classified as which of the following? A. Elective B. Urgent C. Emergency D. Salvage

5 Answer A. Elective Rationale: Elective surgery is any surgery that is voluntary and scheduled a week or more in advance.

6 Various Surgical Settings Outpatient Stand-alone surgery center Medical office Hospital outpatient surgery department Inpatient Hospital-based surgery

7 Preoperative Care of the Surgical Patient Components of the Pre-surgical Assessment Patient history Review of all body systems Physical exam Laboratory testing

8 Preoperative Diagnostic Testing A minimum of: CBC, UA, EKG Commonly done: Bleeding indicators: PT, INR, aptt Nutritional status: prealbumin, albumin, transferrin, total protein Glucose, electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, GFR, bilirubin, SGOT, SGTP, amylase, alkaline phosphatase, uric acid, cholesterol Radiology: CXR

9 Preoperative Patient Teaching When should preop teaching beginning? Provides a smoother, shorter recovery period Decreases anxiety, increases compliance TCDB exercises Incentive spirometry Leg/feet exercises SCDs, TED hose Pain and nausea relief measures Medications

10 Preoperative Medications Purposes: Relief of apprehension and anxiety Sedation Analgesia Amnesia Decrease of anesthetic requirements Decrease of gastric volume and acidity Prevention of nausea and vomiting

11 Purposes of Preoperative Medications (cont.) Dry secretions and prevent aspiration Prevent bradycardia Facilitate induction Decrease risk of allergic reaction Decrease stress of parental separation Prevent infection Prevent clot formation

12 Physician Informed Consent Explain procedure, available alternatives, and risks of the procedure and anesthesia Nurse Make sure the consent form lists correct surgical procedure and is signed by the patient and the physician Answer patient questions and concerns

13 Preoperative Checklist Provides confirmation that all pre-op tasks have been completed and that the patient is ready for surgery Usually placed on front of chart for OR staff convenience Also provides documentation Confirms the presence of Consent, Hx & Px, and lab results in chart AND ID band, prep, NPO status, location of prosthetics, allergies, and pre-op VS and meds.

21 Surgical Procedures Suffixes/Words: ectomy: to remove otomy: to cut or separate ostomy: to create an opening ablation: to remove from transplant: to uproot and replant

22 Postoperative Care of the Surgical Patient 1. Maintain airway and gas exchange: R, SpO 2, and breath sounds; assess skin color; provide suction PRN 2. Monitor cardiac function: BP, AP, peripheral pulses, skin temp 3. VS every 5-15 minutes as determined by condition 4. Monitor level of responsiveness 5. Monitor surgical site and drains

26 Initial Post-Op Assessment First Priority: Open airway and gas exchange, respirations, skin color, SpO 2, apply O 2 if needed Second Priority: LOC, BP, and radial pulse; auscultate breath sounds, AP, and bowel sounds; assess pupils and peripheral pulses Surgical Site: Assess bleeding and drainage; assess for abd distention

27 Post-Op Assessment Priorities (con t.) IV fluids Foley or assess for bladder distention Assess for pain, nausea, and discomforts Safety interventions Documentation Physician s orders Then assess VS according to the patient s condition and the facility s policy for frequency

28 Postoperative Problems and Complications Respiratory: Airway obstruction, hypoxemia, hypoventilation, atelectasis, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia Cardiovascular: Tachycardia and other arrhythmias, BP, BP, decreased cardiac output, DVT Hemorrhage Gastrointestinal: N/V, paralytic ileus
