Purposes of surgery Diagnostic, palliative, transplant ablative- remove something Constructive: congenital reconstructive: knee/hip replacement
General anesthesia Inhalation or IV in operating room Risks? benefits?
Moderate sedation IV in procedural room benefits: pt maintains airway, pt can respond to verbal and tactile stimuli risks: oversedation
Regional anesthesia Injection at bedside or procedural/operating room benefits: awake, targeted to area risks: loss of reflexes (dermatomes)

Intraoperative phase pt arrives at OR TO pt leaves OR
Postoperative phase PT arrives in PACU TO Pt fully recovered from surgery
Preoperative assessment important to determine baseline so PACU nurse knows normals - med/surg history - thorough physical assessment - medications/ nutrition/ alcohol/ drugs - ADLS and education
Preoperative implement actions 1. communication: no false reassurance 2. Teaching 3. physical preparation
Intraoperative phase actions 1. universal protocol: time-out 2. error preventions 3. nursing interventions (bony prominences padded, draping, documentation)
What is most important immediately post-op? 1. respiratory 2. cardiovascular 3. CNS and Fluid status
Post-op respiratory problem pulmonary embolism atelectasis pneumonia
PE post-op MEDICAL EMERGENCY recognize: SOB, trachea, SpO2 sat drop, *impending sense of doom Respond: notify provider, rapid response, monitor VS, administor O2, anticoagulants
Atelectasis post-op Most common post-op respiratory prob recognize: diminished lung sounds, dyspnea, restlessness respond: notify provider, ICOUGH, administer oxygen, pain control
ICOUGH Incentive spirometer, cough and deeply breathe, oral care, understand ICOUGH, get out of bed and walk the hallway, head of bed elevation

Factors affecting Oxygenation meds: opioids, CNS depressants, meds decreasing HR environment: air pollution, allergens, smoking
hypoventilation definition alveolar ventilation inadequate to meet the body's oxygen demand or to eliminate sufficient carbon dioxide
Hyperventilation definition Ventilation in excess of that required to eliminate carbon dioxide produced by cellular metabolism
Cyanosis definition Blue discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes
Oxygenation health history assessment - exercise habits - Hx of heart or lung disease - Air quality - use of substances that cause respirator problems - ADLS - immunizations, medications, and home oxygen - career
Oxygenation physical assessment inspect: pallor, clubbing, kyphosis palpate: edema, pulsations, cap refill Auscultation: lung sounds, cough, wheezing, stridor
Eupnea Normal, unlabored and regular breathing pattern
Tachypnea Increased respiratory rate
Bradypnea Decreased respiratory rate
Apnea No breathing
Cheyne-Stokes Cycles of deep breathing followed by shallow breathing
Biots Regular deep breathing mixed with periods of apnea
Kussmauls Rapid, deep breathing at a consistent pace
Respiratory diagnostics PFT's Spirometry Peak expiratory flow rate Pulse Ox Capnography
Actions to help respiration hydration oral care ambulation diet frequent rest periods reduced anxiety
