Description

The recovery period is the highest risk period for peri-operative death. Monitoring during this time is vital to ensure a successful outcome in all of our patients. In clinics today we strive for gold standard nursing for our patients and this lecture will help you prepare to recover your patients smoothly without complications and if complications do occur we will help you prepare for these in the best way possible. Topics covered during this lecture: having a well-equipped recovery area, monitoring of the patient, crash carts, staffing, analgesia, and comfort of the patients.
