The overall goal of this is to identify risk factors and plan care to ensure patient safety throughout the surgical experience

As an OR nurse, you are this for the patient during surgery

The OR circulating nurse provides this type of care and preparation to achieve the expected patient outcomes

This ASA classification is defined as a "normal healthy patient"

During Phase I of PACU monitoring, vital signs are taken how often

Women of childbearing age need this test performed before surgery

This organization developed a surgical safety checklist to improve compliance with standards and decrease surgical complications

The purpose of this is to reduce the number of microorganisms available on the skin to migrate to the surgical wound

This type of anesthesia allows patients to be completely unconscious with an endotracheal tube and ventilated breathing support

The most common cause of hypotension in PACU is this

This type of patient education should be done pre-operatively

He/she is ultimately responsible for obtaining the patient's consent for surgical treatment

The surgical department is divided into semi-restricted, restricted, and this zone

Examples of these include brachial plexus, femoral, axially, cervical, and ankle

Decreased O2 saturation, restlessness/confusion, and use of accessory muscles when breathing are all signs of this

Due to the risk of VTE in surgical patients, these are often applied in the preop area and used throughout surgery

If the patient does not speak English, this person is used for translation

This reason for surgery is performed to determine the presence and extent of a pathologic condition

This is a noninvasive means of assessing oxygenation and can provide early warning signs of hypoxemia

These types of complications pose the greatest risk to patients in the immediate post-anesthesia period

All surgical procedures put the patient at risk for this

In the OR, this person can be another physician, RNFA, PA, Surgical Resident/Fellow, or a CSTFA

This type of surgical approach uses endoscopes, laparoscopes, and Robotics to provide small incisions, less pain, and faster recovery for patients

The definite treatment of this disorder is prompt administration of Dantrolene

This is the phase of postanesthesia care during the immediate post-anesthesia period
