PERIOPERATIVE NURSING
Used to describe the wide variety of nursing functions associated with the patients surgical experience An encompassing word that incorporates the three phases of surgeryPREOPERATIVE PHASE, INTRAOPERATIVE PHASE and POSTOPERATIVE PHASE
8/15/2013 eloisampeamora 2

PREOPERATIVE PHASE
Extends from the time the patient is admitted to the surgical unit to the time he or she is prepared physically, psychosocially, spiritually, and legally for the surgical procedure Ends until he is transported into the operating room
8/15/2013 eloisampeamora 3

INTRAOPERATIVE PHASE
Extends from the time the client is admitted to the operating room to the administration of anesthesia, surgical procedure done. Ends until the time he/she is transported to the recovery room or PACU

8/15/2013

eloisampeamora

POST-OPERATIVE PHASE
Extends from the time the client is admitted to the recovery room to the time he is transported back into the surgical unit, discharged from the hospital until the follow-up care.

FOUR MAJOR TYPES OF PATHOLOGIC CONDITIONS REQUIRING SURGICAL INTERVENTION

OBSTRUCTION
Impairment to the flow of vital fluids like blood, urine, CSF, bile

PERFORATION
Rupture of an organ

EROSION
Wearing off of a surface or membrane

TUMORS
Abnormal new growth

CLASSIFICATION OF SURGICAL PROCEDURES


According to PURPOSE According to DEGREE of RISKS According to URGENCY

8/15/2013

eloisampeamora

According to PURPOSE
Diagnostic
To establish the presence of a disease condition

Exploratory
To determine extent of the disease condition

Curative
To treat the disease condition
ABLATIVE
Involves removal of an organ (ectomy)

CONSTRUCTIVE
Involves repair of congenitally defective organ (plasty, orraphy, pexy)

RECONSTRUCTIVE
Involves repair of damaged organ

Palliative
To relieve distressing signs and symptoms, not necessarily to 8/15/2013 eloisampeamora cure the disease
8

According to DEGREE OF RISKS (Magnitude/Extent)


MAJOR SURGERY
High risk Extensive Prolonged Large amount of blood loss Vital organs may be handled or removed Great risk of complication
8/15/2013

MINOR SURGERY
Generally not prolonged Leads to few serious complication Involves less risks

eloisampeamora

According to URGENCY
EMERGENCY
To be done immediately to save life or limb

IMPERATIVE
To be done within 24 hrs

PLANNED / REQUIRED
Necessary for well-being, maybe scheduled in weeks or months

ELECTIVE
Not absolutely necessary for survival. Delay or omission will not cause adverse effect

OPTIONAL

PRINCIPLES OF STERILE TECHNIQUE


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. If you are in doubt of the sterility of an object, consider it unsterile Sterile to sterile, unsterile to unsterile Gowns are considered sterile from waist to shoulders in front and the sleeves Tables are only sterile at table level Unsterile persons avoid reaching over a sterile field, sterile persons avoid leaning over a unsterile area Edges of anything that encloses sterile contents are considered unsterile Sterile field are created as close as possible to the time of used Microorganisms must be kept to an irreducible minimum

OR ATTIRE
SCRUB SUITS
Worn only in the operating suite

HEAD COVER
Used to cover hair completely

SHOES
Should be clean, washable, soft-soled covered by shoe covers

MASK
Put on by all personnel before coming into the OR and must be worn over nose and mouth

STERILE GOWN
Are worn over the scrub attire

STERILE GLOVES
8/15/2013

Are worn to complete the attire for eloisampeamora scrubbed team members

39

SURGICAL SCRUB
The removal of as many bacteria as possible from arms and hands by mechanical washing and chemical disinfection before participating in an operation Done just prior to gowning and gloving for each operation PURPOSE
To help prevent the possibility of contamination of the operative wound by bacteria on hands and arms
8/15/2013 eloisampeamora 40

GOWNING
PURPOSES
To exclude skin as a possible contaminant and to create a barrier between sterile and unsterile areas To permit the wearer to come within the sterile field To carry out sterile techniques during an operative procedure
8/15/2013 eloisampeamora 41

GLOVING
Sterile gloves complete the attire for scrubbed team members Put on immediately after gowning GLOVING TECHNIQUES
CLOSED GLOVE TECHNIQUE
Affords assurance against contamination when gloving oneself since no hare hands is exposed

OPEN GLOVE TECHNIQUES


Uses a skin-to-skin, glove-to-glove technique
8/15/2013 eloisampeamora 42

DRAPING
The procedure of covering patient and surrounding areas with a sterile barrier to create and maintain an adequate sterile field during an operation

DRESSINGS
Wet dressings:
Water and medication can be applied to the skin with dressings (finely woven cotton, linen, or gauze) soaked in solution. Wet compresses, especially with frequent changes, provide gentle debridement. These dressings are specifically effective for moist, oozing and weeping lesions.

Dry dressings:
Used to protect the skin, hold medications against the skin, keep clothing and sheets from rubbing, or keep dirt and air away. Such dressings also prevent patients from scratching or rubbing.

8/15/2013

eloisampeamora

95

DRESSINGS
Occlusive dressings:
Used with increasing frequency in the treatment of acute wounds, chronic venous, diabetic and pressure ulcers. A variety of dressings are available including films, nontransparent adhesive hydrocolloids, and semitransparent nonadhesive hydrogels, all of which enhance wound healing.

Negative pressure dressings:


This device consists of a pressure distributing wound packing with a connecting tube placed into the wound space and sealed with an occlusive dressing. A partial negative pressure is created on the wound which in turn draws the edges of the wound to the center, assisting in closure of the wound. Application of the negative pressure dressing does not require the skills of a physical therapist.
