Perioperative Nursing
Three Phases:
Preoperative (Preop) Intraoperative (Intraop) Postoperative (Postop)
![Page 12: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Preoperative Phase
Starts when surgery is scheduled Ends when transferred to surgical
suite Assessment phase Planning phase Discharge Planning phase Educations phase Getting it all together phase
![Page 13: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Intraoperative Phase Begins when transferred to the surgical suite Ends when transferred to the post-anesthesia
care unit (PACU) Surgical phase Anticipatory time Maintaining client advocacy Maintaining communication with
family/surgical team Surgical team interaction

Anesthesia: more choices and alternatives
General Anesthesia Regional Anesthesia Intravenous Anesthesia Local Anesthesia Balanced Anesthesia
![Page 72: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
General Anesthesia: Inhalation Agents Inhalation most controllable method; lungs act as
passageway for entrance & exit of agent Gas Agents : Nitrous Oxide
must be given with oxygen require assisted to mechanical ventilation frequently shiver taken in & excreted via lungs Examples: halothane, enthrane, florane…

General AnesthesiaEndotracheal Intubation (maintain airway patency/promote oxygenation)
Used with general anesthesia; Alternatives are mask or LMA
![Page 75: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Stages of General Anesthesia
Stage 1: Analgesia/Sedation/Relaxation Stage 2: Excitement/Delirium Stage 3: Operative Anesthesia (Stage 4: DANGER: BAD) not
expected/normal Speed of EMERGENCE (recovery from
anesthesia) depends on type of anesthesia, length of time & many other factors- try to time with end of surgery

General Anesthesia: Intravenous Intravenous Agents
Thiopental Sodium (Pentothal) but is commonly called “Sodium Pentothal” by patients (class: barbiturate)
Diprovan (Propofol) rapid acting monitor vital signs respiratory depression
![Page 77: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Adjuncts to General Anesthesia Hypnotics (Versed)
also used for conscious sedation Opioid Analgesics (Morphine, Fentanyl)
respiratory depression Neuromuscular Blocking Agents
Causes muscle paralysis Examples: Rocuronium, Succinycholine What vital function is affected?

Potential General Anesthesia Complications
Overdose (consider risk factors) Hypoventilation postoperatively Intubation related: sore throat,
hoarseness, broken teeth, vocal cord trauma
MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA Genetic predisposition Triggered by anesthetics such as
Halothane

Balanced Anesthesia (a sample) Start with Pentothal or Propofol Add in some nitrous oxide for amnesia Use inhalation agent such as halothane Stir in a little opiate- morphine, fentanyl, for
postop analgesia To top it off give Pavulon, a neuromuscular
blocker, for additional muscular relaxation

Regional Anesthesia
Field Block Nerve Block Spinal Anesthesia Epidural Anesthesia
![Page 81: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Regional Anesthesia
Loss of sensory nerve impulses; motor function may or may not be affected No loss of consciousness
Field Block: “caine” injected around a nerve or group of nerves (dental procedures) May be combined with epinephrine to
prolong Approximately 30 min to 2 hours
![Page 82: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Regional Anesthesia: Spinal
Local anesthetic (-caine) injected
into cerebrospinal fluid (approx L 3-5) subarachnoid space
![Page 83: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Spinal Anesthesia (Subarachnoid Block)
Anesthesia: tip of xiphoid to toes Risks:
Loss of vasomotor tone “Spinal Headache” Infection, Rising anesthesia above
diaphragm Nursing: KEEP FLAT, MONITOR VS &
OFFER FLUIDS WHEN APPROPRIATE
![Page 84: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Regional Anesthesia: Epidural
Injected into epidural space rather than subarachnoid fluid (usually safer)
Used for OR & OB Epidural catheter can
be left in place for postop pain management (PCA)
![Page 85: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Regional Anesthetic Risks
Anaphylaxis (ALLERGY) Incorrect administration technique Systemic absorption of medication Infection

Intravenous Anesthesia
Multiple Agents Multiple Purposes: Induction Hypnosis Dissociative Opioid Analgesics Neuromuscular blocking agents
![Page 87: Perioperative concepts and management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56813fef550346895daafb9c/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Conscious Sedation Reduce intensity of pain without loss of
defensive reflexes Usually a combination of opioid analgesic
and sedative-hypnotics May be administered by credentialed RN Expect client to be sleepy but arousable JUST BECAUSE HIS EYES ARE CLOSED
DOESN’T MEAN HE’S ASLEEP!!

Local Anesthesia Local/Topical
Interrupts transmission of sensory nerve impulses so it: numbs what it touches
Requires multiple injections with “CAINE” drug (Example: novacaine, lidocaine)
Duration = 1 min to 20-30 min
-Can be prolonged with added epinephrine
Assess for ALLERGY
