Preoperative care refers to health care provided before a surgical operation. The aim of preoperative care is to do whatever is right to increase the success of the surgery.
At some point before the operation the health care provider will assess the fitness of the person to have surgery.
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.
There are different nursing roles throughout the perioperative process including: admissions nurse, anaesthetic nurse, circulating nurse or scout nurse, instrument or scrub nurse, post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) nurse and the surgical ward nurse. Other nurses may be included in the perioperative process such as pain management specialist nurses, diabetes educators.

Fire SafetyKeep open spaces (e.g., hallways) free of clutter.Make sure fire exits are clearly marked.Know the locations of all fire alarms, exits, and extinguishers.Know the telephone number for reporting fires.Know the agency’s fire drill and evacuation plans.Never use the elevator in the event of a fire.Turn off oxygen and appliances in the vicinity of a fire.In the event of fire, maintain the respiratory status of a client on life support manually with the use of an Ambu-bag (resuscitation bag) until the client can be moved away from the fire.Use the RACE mnemonic to set priorities in the event of a fire.Use the PASS mnemonic to remember how to use a fire extinguisher.
Evacuation Procedures
Ambulatory clients may be directed to walk on their own to a safe area and may be able to help move clients in wheelchairs.Bedridden clients are generally moved from the scene of a fire on stretchers, in their beds, or in wheelchairs.Appropriate transfer techniques must be used to carry a client from the area of a fire.Fire department personnel at the scene of a fire can help evacuate clients.
Safety - The Primary concern when caring for clients
All employees need to know:
the institution's fire evacuation routine
the location of fire alarms
the location of fire extinguishers
how to use the fire extinguisher
the location of fire exits
The "hang tag“ (ON FIRE EXTINGUISHERS) should be checked for date of last inspection (usually annually)
List the phone number for reporting fires close to all phones in the facility
facility rescue plans:
FIRE SAFETY
FIRE EXTNGUISHERS
The most common water extinguishers are suitable for class A fires only. Never use water to extinguish class C fires due to the risk of electrical shock.
Dry chemical extinguishers come in a variety of types and are suitable for a combination of class A, B, and C fires (liquids and electrical fires)
filled with foam or powder and pressurized with nitrogen
may leave a harmful residue that reduces the likelihood of re-ignition
Carbon dio.
Infection control prevents or stops the spread of infections in healthcare settings
sterilization is a process which kills all forms of microbial life including transmissible agents such as virus, bacteria, fungi and spore forms
disinfection is define as a destruction or inhibition of most pathogenic agent on the surface of inanimate object by chemical or physical means.
Methods of Handwashing are
A.Short Scrub
B. Short Standard Handwash
C. Surgical Hand Scrub

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Operation theatre differs from other areas of hospital and care should be
taken to prevent accidents by physical , chemical or biological means.
• Accident is an unexplained, unexpected and undesired event.
• Objective:To identify the hazards present in the operating rooms and to list
actions that can be taken to minimize these hazards.
3. WHY SHOULD WE AVOID ACCIDENTS IN AN
OPERATION THEATRE?
• Every patient has the right to be treated using the safest
technology available in health facilities.
• This requires two main aspects knowledge and well trained caring
heath care workers and validated systems in operating theatres
and sterile services that will ensure safety for the patients and to
reduce harm
4. CLASSIFIACTION OF HAZARDS IN AN OT
Hazard :A situation that posses a level of threat to life ,health,property or
environment.
Hazards in an operating room:are potential sources of harm or adverse health
effects that occur in the operating room.
They are of three types :
1)Physical Hazards
2)Chemical Hazards
3)Biological Hazards
5. 1) PHYSICAL HAZARDS AND SAFEGUARDS
• A physical hazard is a type of occupational hazard that involves environmental hazards
that can cause harm with or without contact.Most common type of hazard in an OT.
• Engineering controls are often used to mitigate physical hazards
The physical facility is designed to control traffic pattern , decrease contamination,
facilitate handling of equipment's and supplies and to provide a comfortable working
environment.
7. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
• Maintain adequate ventilation through AC
• Maintain adequate temperature through AC
• Lighting should be without shadow and glare
• Wall, ceiling and curtain should have light green or light blue
• Provision for soft music which is relaxing for both patient and OT
personnel
8. B)IMPROPER BODY MECHANICS
• Standing for prolonged period in an awkward position cause low back pain.
• Weight bearing on particular body part cause additional strain.
• Improper height cause back injury or low backache
9. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
• OT table should be adjusted to best working height.
• Maintaining an erect posture
• Surgical team member should stand with feet apart.
• Surgical team member should wear soft leather with back open.
• Surgical team member should remain close to the OT table.
10. C)ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• Short circuit
• Improper electrical devices cause risk for both patients and
personnel.
• Inadequate knowledge of handling electrical devices.
11. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
• Periodical checking and checking before using of electrical
sockets, equipment's and devices
• All electrical equipment's should be properly insulated.
• Equipment's should be turned off when not in use.
• Surgical team should use cotton gowns.
• Cotton blankets should be used for patients.
12. D)FIRE HAZARDS
• Fire is caused by short circuit,anaesthesia machines, oxygen
cylinders and other inflammable items.
Preventive measures
• Periodic checking of electrical sockets,lines.
• Anaesthesia machines should be kept away from source of heat.
• OT should be strictly no smoking zone.
• OT should have fire extinguisher ,fire alarm.
13. E)IRRADIATION HAZARD
• When x-ray is taken.
• When fluoroscopy and image intensifying apparatus are used.
• Implantation or removal of radioactive elements.
15. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
• Minimum exposure to fluoroscope , image intensifier and x-ray
machine.
• Unsterile members should leave OT during procedures.
• Sterile team members should keep atleast 2m distance.
• Lead aprons should be worn inside sterile gown by sterile and
unsterile members.
16. 2)CHEMICAL HAZARDS AND SAFEGUARDS
Health care providers are exposed to many chemical hazardous daily.
a)Anesthetic gases
Health hazards include risk for spontaneous abortion , cancer, hepatic and renal diseases.
• .Chronic exposure to nitrous oxide leads to neurologic problems.
17. B) STERILIZING AGENTS
The chemicals agents which are used to sterilize heat sensitive items which are toxic
and also irritating to eyes and nasal passages, even at low levels of exposure
>Ethylene Oxide
>Formaldehyde
> Glutaraldehyde
18. C)DISINFECTANTS
>Some of the disinfectants that are used to clean the equipment’s can be
irritating to the skin and eyes.
>Gloves and goggles should be worn while using these chemicals.
D) Methyl Methacrylate
Commonly known as bone cement .
It is a carcinogen and is toxic to liver.
A scavenging system should be used to collect the vapours.
20. 3)BIOLOGIC HAZARDS AND SAFEGUARDS
• Transmission of infection and disease is a concern for personnel.
a)Infectious Waste
Waste having enough virulence and are capable of causing infectious
diseases.
FACTORS determining something is infectious
• Presence of pathogenic organism in sufficient number and are capable of
causing infection.
• Presence of portal of entry into a susceptible host.
21. B) BLOOD-BORNE DISEASES
A penetrating injury(needle stick ,cut) or a splash(into the eye ,onto mucous membranes)
with fluid contaminated with blood must not be ignored.
If exposure to blood or body fluid occurs. The following procedures to be performed:
• Stop the activity immediately and step back from the point of contamination.
• Squeeze skin around the needle stick or cut to expel blood and contaminants
• Cleanse puncture site
• Report the incident and seek medical attention promptly
• Follow the protocol established for follow up
24. A)ADMINISTRATION
• Regulation,recommendations,guidelines and laws should be enforced to prevent disastrous
consequences of occupational hazards.
• Policies and procedures should be written reviewed and updated periodically.
• Protective attire and safety equipment’s should be made available to the employees
• Employee health services should be provided for immunisations
25. B) PREVENTION
s
Routine preventive maintenance should be provided for all potentially
hazardous equipment
C) CORRECTION
Faulty or malfunctioning equipment should be taken out of serve
immediately
Unsafe conditions should be reported.
26. C)EDUCATION
• Orientation
• Use of emergency equipments
• Protective garments
D) DOCUMENTATION
Incident reports regarding injuries to personnel and patients should be filed with the
administration of facility.
27. CONCLUSION
Prevention of injuries is vital to maintain a safe environment. Each caregiver
should seek instruction when needed and follow safety and control measures
established by facility policies and procedures.
