Caring for the Perioperative Patient is a practical, evidence-based
and innovative book that identifies and discusses the essential
core skills and knowledge required by perioperative practitioners
to care for their patients. Divided into two sections, the
first explores core perioperative issues, such as pharmacology,
communication, homeostasis, and equipment. The second part of
the book looks at more specific perioperative practice issues,
including enhanced competence, patient preparation, and care of the
patient during anaesthesia, surgery, and recovery.
This updated new edition is skills-focused and uses examples of
techniques or procedures to illustrate how skills can be applied in
perioperative practice. It is essential reading for nurses or
operating department practitioners (ODPs) who perform scrub,
circulating, anaesthetic and recovery roles whilst caring for
perioperative patients, as well as nursing and ODP students working
in perioperative care.
* New edition of a successful text for perioperative
practitioners and students
* Emphasises holistic patient centred care
* Focused on key skills and knowledge required by
practitioners
* Explores the evidence-base for safe and effective practice
