| Wound Classification | Anesthesia | Minimally Invasive Surgery | Infection Control | Hemostasis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
What is Class II (Clean-contaminated)
This is the wound classification for a cystoscopy with ureteral stent placement
|
What are general, regional, local, and monitored anesthesia care (MAC)
These are the four main types of anesthesia.
|
What are shortened length of stay, shorter post-op recuperation, decreased post-op pain, earlier return to normal activities/lifestyle
These are three advantages of MIS over open procedures
|
What is "After each surgical procedure, a safe clean environment should be established"
This is the AORN guideline for post-procedure cleaning.
|
What are pressure, hemostats, ligating clips, ligature, pledgets, and bone wax
These are mechanical methods of hemostasis
|
|
What is Class I (Clean)
This is the wound classification for a patient having a right craniotomy for tumor resection
|
What are Phase I: Induction, Phase II: Maintenance, and Phase III: Emergence
These are the three phases of anesthesia (in order)
|
What is capacitive coupling
This is a complication that can occur in endoscopic equipment that is not inspected and maintained for integrity
|
What is Alcohol
This type of disinfectant should NOT be used to clean large environmental surfaces
|
What are mechanical, thermal, and chemical
These are the three methods of achieving hemostasis
|
|
What is Class III (Contaminated)
This is the wound classification for a burn debridement on the left forearm
|
What is: (must have at least 3)
discontinue triggering agents give pt 100% O2 switch to a new anesthesia machine, if possible give dantrolene (or Raynodex) Cool patient with ice and/or cold saline
These are three treatments for an MH Crisis
|
What is CO2
This is the type of gas used to insufflate the abdomen for a laparoscopic case
|
What is a visual inspection for cleanliness and orderliness
- removing excess furniture, equipment, and supplies to avoid clutter -arrange furniture in an organized manner away from the traffic pattern -damp dust and mop the room, if needed
These are the steps the OR nurse should take to prepare the OR for surgery (first case)
|
What are microfibrillar collagen, oxidized cellulose, collagen sponge, gelatin sponge, fibrin sealant, thrombin, and styptics
These are chemical methods of hemostasis
|
|
What is Class I (Clean)
This is the wound classification for a patient having a left carpal tunnel release who also has an existing colostomy
|
What are Stage I: Initial Administration, Stage II, Excitement, Stage III: Intrasurgery, Stage IV: Possible Respiratory Failure
These are the four stages of general anesthesia (in order).
|
What are: Cardiac Dysrhythmia
Hyper/Hypotension Hypoxemia Extraperitoneal insufflation Subcutaneous emphysema Hypercarbia CO2 Embolism Instrument injuries peritonitis or wound infection delayed hemorrhage gastric reflux capacitive coupling of surrounding tissues
These are three potential complications of Minimally Invasive Surgery
|
What is hospital laundered scrubs, scrub jacket closed in the front, head and facial hair covering, and surgical mask if sterile items are present
This is the surgical attire required in the restricted area
|
What is removing blood, serosanguinous fluid, and purulent material; assist with eliminating dead spaces, preventing deep wound infections, and draining bile and intestinal contents
This is how drains expedite the healing process
|
|
What is Class II (Clean-Contaminated)
This is the wound classification for a laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy
|
What are dural puncture, subarachnoid injection, intravascular injection
These are potential complications of epidural anesthesia
|
What is a patient burn
This is the type of patient injury that can occur with a fiberoptic light cord that is not placed on standby
|
What is temp: 68-75; humidity 20-60%
This are the temperature and humidity parameters for the restricted zone.
|
What are passive (gravity, capillary action); or active (suction)
These are the two ways in which surgical drains function
