- OPERATIVE PHASES
Consents signed in preop
- Informed consent (Surgical)
- Anesthesia consent
- Blood transfusion consent
is used as anti-emetic
Ondansetron and Metoclopramide
is used to decrease anxiety or for relaxation
Midazolam and Dormicum
refers to the time during surgery. Intra-operative care is patient care during an operation and ancillary to that operation
intra-operative
The purpose of intra-operative care is
- To maintain patient safety and comfort during surgical procedures.
- Maintaining homeostasis during the procedure,
- Maintaining strict sterile techniques to decrease the chance of cross-infection,
- Ensuring that the patient is secure on the operating table,
- Taking measures to prevent hematomas from safety strips or from positioning.
temperature in the intraoperative area
20-23°c
humidity should be maintained at
30%-60%.
Intra-operative complications are:
- Surgery related,
- Anesthesia related,
- Position related.
Abbreviation for electrocardiograph. Electro-cardiograph is a tracing of electrical activity of the heart obtained through electrodes placed on a person’s skin in certain areas where electrical activity can be easily detected.
ECG

- Intraoperative care
a state of shock caused by the sudden loss of large amounts of blood.
- Hypovolemic shock
written or oral permission given by a patient or guardian for medical or surgical treatment after a complete explanation is given and any questions the patient has are answered. If consent is given orally, documentation must have two witnesses.
- Informed consent
a chain reaction triggered in susceptible people by commonly used general anesthetics. Signs include greatly increased body metabolism, muscle rigidity, and eventual hyperthermia which may exceed 110. Death may be caused by cardiac arrest, brain damage, internal hemorrhage, or failure of other body systems.
- Malignant hyperthermia
tests used to determine ventilation and perfusion capabilities of the lungs.
- Pulmonary function test
A method of measuring a patient’s blood oxygenation status. A measure of 100% is optimal.
- Pulse oximetry
