Phases of Perioperative Nursing

Pre-operative Phase

Extends from the time the client is admitted in the surgical unit, to the time he/she is prepared physically, psychosocially, spiritually and legally for the surgical procedure, until he/she is transported into the operating room.

Page 3: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Phases of Perioperative Nursing

Intra-operative Phase

Extends from the time the client is admitted to the operating room, to the time of administration of anesthesia, surgical procedure is done, until he/she is transported to the recovery room or post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).

Page 4: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Phases of Perioperative Nursing

Post-operative Phase

Extends from the time the client is admitted to the recovery room, to the time he/she is transported back into the surgical unit, discharged from the hospital, until the follow – up care.

Sterile Aseptic Technique

A method by which contamination with microorganisms is prevented.

Is needed at all times in an operating room.

Is the primary responsibility of everyone on a case or in the operating room during a case.

Page 6: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Asepsis

Freedom from infection.

Absence of microorganisms that can cause disease.

It prevents contamination of surgical wounds either thru scrubbing, use of antimicrobial agents and scrubs suit.

Page 7: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Sources of Contamination

• Members of the operating team.

• Patient

• All articles used in the wound and on the sterile set up.

• Dust in the air.

• Other personnel or visitors in the operating room.

Page 8: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Activities to reduce or eliminate bacteria:

• Covering the mouth and nose.

• Clean operating room clothes and shoes, not worn outside operating room.

• Meticulous housekeeping practices.

• Proper methods of sterilization of all items used.

• Strict aseptic techniques in all details.

• Minimum of activity in the room and of movement in and out of it.

Page 9: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Surgical Conscience

Is the foundation upon which the growth and development of an operating room nurse is built.

Page 10: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Principles of Sterile Technique

• All articles in an operation have been sterilized previously.

• Persons who are sterile touch only sterile techniques; persons who are unsterile touch only the unsterile articles.

• If in doubt about the sterility of anything, consider it not sterile.

Page 11: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Principles of Sterile Technique

• Unsterile persons avoid reaching over a sterile field; sterile persons avoid leaning over a sterile area.

• Tables are sterile only at table level.

• Gowns are considered sterile only from waist to shoulder level in front and the sleeves.

Page 12: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Principles of Sterile Technique

• The edge of anything that encloses sterile contents is not considered sterile.

• Sterile persons keep well within the sterile area.

• Unsterile persons keep away from sterile areas.

Page 13: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Principles of Sterile Technique

• Sterile persons keep contact with sterile areas to minimum.

• Moisture may cause contamination.

• When microorganisms cannot be eliminated from a field, they must be kept to an irreducible minimum.

Page 14: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Surgical Scrubbing

• Is the removal of as many microorganisms as possible from the hands and arms by mechanical washing and chemical disinfection before taking part in a surgical procedure.

Page 15: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Purpose of Surgical Scrubbing

• To prevent the possibility of contamination of the operative wound by microorganisms on the hands and arms.

Page 16: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Types of Scrubbing

1. Counted Brush Stroke Method

This method dictates a specified number of strokes for each surface of the fingers, hands, and arms.

It ensures complete and thorough coverage of all areas no matter how rapid the scrubbing is.

30 strokes for left and right fingernails.

20 strokes for all the skin surface.

Page 17: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)

Types of Scrubbing

2. Anatomical Timed Method

It allows scrubbing each surface of the fingers, hands, and arms for a specified time using a prescribed anatomic pattern.

It starts from 4 surfaces of each fingers; beginning with the thumb and moving from 1 finger to the next, down the outer edge of the 5th finger, over the dorsal surface of the hand, palmar surface of the hand or vice versa, from the small finger to thumb over the wrist and up the arm, ending 2 inches above the elbow.

Page 18: Perioperative Nursing Lecture(Cmo14)
