Caring for the Perioperative Patient

Caring for patients requiring surgery presents unique challenges. Caring for the Perioperative Patient identifies the essential skills and knowledge required by all perioperative practitioners in order to care effectively for their patients. Caring for the Perioperative Patient explores the influence of anaesthesia and surgery on patient physiology and the pharmacology of perioperative drugs, addresses essential anaesthetic, surgical and recovery skills, the management of perioperative equipment, and examines communication, risks and pre-operative assessment.O'Neill, Joy is the author of 'Caring for the Perioperative Patient ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781405128025 and ISBN 140512802X.
