Track: Nursing Care in Surgery and Recovery

The Nursing Care in Surgery and Recovery session will focus on the essential role of nursing professionals in ensuring successful surgical outcomes and supporting patients throughout the perioperative process. This session will cover preoperative care, postoperative recovery, collaboration with the surgical team, and the management of pain and complications to optimize recovery.
Preoperative Nursing Care is crucial for preparing patients both physically and psychologically for surgery. This segment will address the key responsibilities of nurses in assessing patient health, ensuring informed consent, managing preoperative medications, and providing emotional support. Effective preoperative care sets the foundation for a smoother surgical experience and better recovery outcomes.
Surgical Team Collaboration within the surgical team is vital for successful surgery and recovery. This session will explore the nurse’s role in working alongside surgeons, anesthetists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care before, during, and after the procedure. Topics will include effective communication, patient safety, and the integration of nursing care in the surgical workflow.
Postoperative Recovery and Care involves monitoring vital signs, managing pain, and ensuring the patient’s safe transition from surgery to recovery. This segment will focus on essential aspects of postoperative care, including wound management, infection prevention, and the nurse’s role in promoting early mobilization to reduce the risk of complications such as blood clots and pneumonia.
Patient Education and Emotional Support nurses play a key role in educating patients about what to expect during recovery and providing emotional support. This session will explore strategies for offering clear instructions regarding postoperative care, medications, and lifestyle modifications. Additionally, emotional support is essential for helping patients manage anxiety, fear, and stress during the recovery process.
Monitoring and Managing Postoperative Complications is a critical part of nursing care. This segment will focus on the identification and management of potential complications such as bleeding, infections, and respiratory issues. Emphasis will be placed on early detection, prompt intervention, and the use of evidence-based practices to mitigate risks and improve patient outcomes.
Pain Management in Recovery is essential for patient comfort and successful recovery. This session will cover multimodal pain management strategies, including pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods. Topics will include assessing pain levels, individualizing pain management plans, and using techniques such as patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), regional blocks, and relaxation methods to ensure optimal pain control and prevent opioid overuse.
