During the perioperative period, specialised nursing care is needed during each phase of treatment. For nurses to give effective and competent care, they need to understand the full perioperative experience for the patient.
Perioperative refers to the three phases of surgery.
Preoperative stage
Intraoperative stage
Postoperative stage
Within these stages there are many different roles for nurses and different care needed for the patient dependent on which stage they are in.
As with any nursing care, the goal during these stages is to provide holistic and evidence-based care as well as support to the individual

1. ADMISSION PROTOCOL
The intensive care unit at the CWM function as an open unit. this means many medical staff visit and
advise on aspects of the patient care, often at separate times to other teams involved. therefor the
following points need to be clarified:
• the ultimate responsibility for patient management and care rests with the admitting medical or
surgical team headed by the moh medical or surgical consultant.
1. unless the patient is already under a team,the admitting consultant will be the team on call
for the day of icu admission.
2. if the patient is already in hospital under a team the they remain under that team unless
formal handover to another team occurs eg surgical to medical.
3. admitting team must do an icu ward round review at least once per day
4. admitting team should be involved in any major changes to patient care and should be
informed of significant changes in patient condition.
• under no circumstances does a patient get admitted to icu under anaesthesia.
• the anaesthesia staff act in a coordination and facilitative role with the following duties:
5. co-ordinating and communicating between various treating teams eg surgical,medical,renal
6. reviewing, accepting and clerking admissions,
7. staffing the icu throughout the day.
8. co-ordinating care and providing technical skills for procedures in icu eg. intubation and
ventilatory control,
9. reviewing and stabilising new referrals
10. liasing with admitting teams over any new issues.
• new referrals for admission to icu should be made to the registrar on call for icu.
2. 11. if admission is appropriate and bed is available then the registrar should organise admission
and inform on call consultant/senior registrar for icu as soon as practicable or earlier if
assistance is needed
12. if appropriateness of admission to icu requires discussion eg unlikely to change patient
outcome,then icu registrar should involve both admitting consultant and icu
consultant/senior registrar and family in discussion and a consensus should be reached.
• senior registrar to co-ordinate with icu charge sister about bed availability. the patient cannot
come to icu nursing staff and bed are ready.
• postoperative booked icu admission: ot staff must liase with icu sister in charge and/or icu
registrar regarding bed availability prior to commencing surgery.
BASIC NURSING CARE
HYGIENE
• FULL SPONGE EVERY MORNING (for male patients include shave). dress patient in ward gown if
discharge to ward expected.
• perianal wash bd/prn
• hair wash prn (nb. hair washing is contraindicated in patients who have an icp monitor or evd
insitu)
eye care:
sedated/paralysed patient:
• clean with n/saline every 2 hours.
• apply artificial tears or nsaline drops every 2 hours &PRN
• Secure eyes closed if sclera at risk of exposure
conscious patient (frequency of cares will depend on patient's ability to blink regulary);
• clean with n/saline PRN
• Apply artificial tear drops PRN
MOUTH CARE
Patients with an artificial airway:
• brush teeth (if possible) TDS and PRN using tap water and toothpaste
3. • rinse with tap water 2/24 hourly and PRN
• Change mouth care tray weekly
• apply yankeur sucker daily
• apply paraffin ointment PRN
ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE CARE
• document ett measurement at lips at intubation,every shift change and PRN
• Measure ett cuff pressure at intubation, every shift change and PRN. ETT cuff pressure should
be</=20 mmhg.
• suction ETT every 1-2 hours and PRN.
• Change HME daily and PRN.
PRESSURE AREA CARE:
• turn patient 2-3 hourly unless contraindicated
• inspect skin at each turn for evidence of development of pressure areas
• ensure minitoring lines/cables are not causing any pressure
• reposition oximeter probe (ear/nose) 2-3 hourly and PRN
• complete and document waterlow score once per shift
• utilise appropriate pressure relieving mattress as required
• document pressure area risk assessment findings in patient notes -if pressure area discovered,
complete pressure area incident from
SIRRING OUT OF BED:
• aim to sit out of bed daily and PRN if possible.
• ensure sufficient persons assisting to maintain patient and staff safety
• utilise physiotherapists to assist in sitting patient's out for the firs time and at other times when
required
IDC care:
4. • record urine output 1-4 hourly
• clean perianal are bd and PRN
• Change urinary catheter and collection bag every 30 days or PRN
NGT/OGT CARE:
• ensure tubing is secured appropriately:
13. NGT- secure to nose using adhesive tape
14. OGT-secure to ETT if present or tape to cheek as above
• change tapes daily/PRN
• Check tube position following insertion, each shift and prior to commencement of
feeding
• aspirate every four hours( document in fluid balance)
central venous line care:
• document cvp measures on observation chart.
• write the figure obtained when reading the manometer. document PEEP at the time of cvp
measurment nearby BUT do not alter the CVP number for PEEP.
• For routine care of CVP line see INFECTION CONTROL PROTOcol.
FASTHUG
ADMISSION CHECKLIST
this pneumonic is a reminder of important ICU oriented aspects of aspects of supportive patient care that
need to be addressed for each patient. these are covered in more detail in the information which follows.
reference : vincent, j.l. give your patient a fast hug (at least) once a day. crit care med 2005. 33(6): 1225-
1229
Feeding and fluids
Analgesia
5. Sedation
Thromboprophyllaxis
Head up 30-45 degrees for each patient unless specific contraindication
stress ulcer prophyllaxis
Glucose control-insulin infusion to control sugar to above 4mmol/l and below 10mmol/1
ROUTINE POSTOPERATIVE VENTIALATION
I ntial ventilator settings
Mode: SIMV volume controlled with PSV/CPAP
• Tidal volume= 8mls/kg (to nearest 50mls)
• rate= 12-15/minute
• fio2=1.0 intially(range 0.3-1.0).reduced rapidly titrate to saturation. aim fio2<0.6
• peep= 5cm H2O (RANGE 5-15 cm H2O)
• pressure support= 10cmH2O (RANGE 8-20 CMh20)
• Flow-by on base flow =5 flow sensitiviy=3
• Insp/exp time ie I:E ratio at 1:2
15. vela ventilator set peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) 40-60 L/min
16. Servo 300 set insp% -25%(green),insp plateau-10%(green)and cmv rate
17. Servo marquet/bair ventilator et I:E ratio directly
• plateau/insp pause=0
Titration of ventilator settings
18. Target range range Spo2 is 90-95%(po2 on ABGS>60mm Hg).
• initialy patients should be ventilated on 100% oxygen.
6. • when monitoring has been established, and adequacy of ventialation checked clinically
and with pulse oximetry the fi02 should be rapidly reduced to achieve target spo2
• blood gases should be checked on admission and when fio2 reduced to target.
• if fio2 cannot be reduced to<0.6 whilst achieving target spo2 then PEEP may need to be
increased.
• if spo2 drops below 90% at any time , increase the fio2 again until target is reached.
2. adjust the rate of ventilation (keeping TV at 8MLS/KG) to achieve target pco2 of 35-45mmHg
WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP
the above approach to ventilation id intended for patient with relatively normal lungs eg
postperative patients, head injury patients etc
it is important to recognise when significant lung pathalogy is present this may be adequate and help
from consultant or senoir register should be sought.
finding witch should alert you to a problem which needs discussion include:
• requirement of fio2>0.6 to maintain sop2> 90%(as above)
• peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)>35cm H2O to achieve target tv or target tv not achieved due
high PIP (pneumonthorax and RMB intubation etc should be excluded (see high PIP/patient
not ventilating protocol); PIFR will need to be reduced or I:E ratio changed so that this peak
pressure not exceeded-exception ASTHMA, see ventilation of the asthma patient protocol)
INTRAVENOUS FLUID THERAPY
this should be combination of background maintenance fluids load prm.
MAINTENANCE FLUIDS
standard maintenance fluids of 1.5mls/kg/hr(100ml-150mls/hour)of glucose 3.3% saline 0.3% is
administered to most patients.
7. Exceptions to this routine include:
19. cardiac cases, congestive cardiac failure or volume overload-may need to restrict fluid-start at
1ml/kg/hr
20. patients with cerebral edema from any cause ie.post neurosurgical, head injury, meningitis or
hypoxic/ischaemic brain injury-use 0.9% saline at 1.5mls/kg/hr instead of dextrose/saline.
21. diabeic ketoacidosis-use Nsaline until sugars better controlled
patients being fed enterally-reduce IV fluids to maintain total intake at desired level-write a target
total volume of fluids/hour in notes and allow nursing staff to titrate IV to this dependant on NG
absorbation. for example : total volume 125mls/hr, 100mls NG and 25mls Iv.
k+ is measured on arrival in ICU
1. If k+<4.5mmol/l then add 20 mmol of KCI to IV Fluids if renal function normal.
2. if k+>4.5mmol/l then fluid without potassium is used. if at any time the K+>5.0, medical staff should
be notified.
if additional KCI supplementation is may be given as intravenous infusion via a central venous catheter
or a peripheral line as specified in the potassium administration guideline.
FLUID INCREMENTS -NORMAL SALINE
if goals for urine output, peripheral perfusion or blood pressure are not fulfilled , crystalloid (0.9%
saline) or colloid are given as rapid infusions. the volume administered is 250-1000ml of crystalloid or
100-500ml of colloid , the amount depending on the clinical status of the patient.
URINE OUTPUT
Urine output in the range of 0.5 to 2ml/kg/hour is acceptable in most patients.
TARGET BLOOD PRESSURE
Unless otherwise specified, target MAP (MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE) FOR MOST patients is MAP>65-
70 mmhg.
Exceptions when a higher target may chosen:
• known hypertensive patients
• traumatic brain injury and other causes of raised intracranial pressure
• patients with acute renal impairment
8. ENTERAL NATRITION FEEDING REGIMEN
Enteral nutrition is preferable to parenteral nutrition if adequate feeding can be achieved. it can be
ministered by a variety of routs including oral, nasogastric, orogastric, nasojejunal, gastrostomy, and
jejunostomy feeding tubes. almost all ICU patients can be fed adequately by one of these routes.
22. for nasogastric or orogastric feeding, a wide bore(14 fr.)'nasogastric' tube is inserted.
23. gastrostomy feeding tubes may be placed surgically placed surgically, or via an
endoscope(percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy=PEG). if surgically placed,check with
surgical team prior to commencing feeds.
24. nasojejunal feeding tubes may be placed with an endoscope or during laparoomy.
25. percutaneous jejunostomy tube may be placed during surgery . it should be flushed with 20
mls water 6 hrly.
the position of all tubes should be confirmed by xray prior to feeds commencing
the patient should be 15-30 degrees head up the majority of the time unless there is a
contraindication to being head up (eg unstable spine).
the standard feed in this unit is prescribed by the dietician and supplied from the kitchen. it is a
mixture daily caloric intake.
• commence feeding at 40ml per hour.
• increase by 20ml per hour every four hours, up to a maximum of 100ml per hour.
• feeding may be as continuos infusion or hourly boluses.
• the masogastric tube is aspirate every 4 hours using multiple syringes if necessary. if the
gastric aspirate is:
26. <150ml the aspirate is returned and feeding continues;
27. 150 to 250ml the aspirate is discarded and feeding continues;
28. >250 ml, then feeding should be stopped for two hours,then restarted at 40ml/hr
• in the absence of contraindications,a gastric aspirate>200ml should be treated with
metoclopramide 10mg IV QID, and consideration given to adding erythromycin 250mg IV Q8H if
subsequent aspira
