Explain The Four Stages Of Anesthesia
TOP 3
1.) Hospital stay have become shorter and has reduce time in which to provide needed information when discharge planning and to arrange continuing care through community based services for necessary services, such as, wound care, drain management, catheter care, infusion therapy, as well as, PT and OT therapy. I f at all possible these should be arrange prior to the surgery itself.
2.) To understand the four different stage of anesthesia is important for nurses to know, due to the support that the patient will need during this time. Stage 1, beginning anesthesia, the patient may have ringing, roaring or buzzing in their ears, during this time it is necessary to avoid any unnecessary noises. Stage 2, excitement stage, this is characterized by the patient struggling, shouting, talking, singing, laughing or crying. Because there could be uncontrolled movement of the patient the anesthesiologist may need assistance to help restrain the patient. Stage 3, surgical anesthesia, at this point the patient in unconscious and respiration and pulse are normal and the skin is pink and flushed, at this stage monitor vital sign to avoid stage 4. Lastly, stage 4, medullary …show more content…
If this should occur the patient should be turned on their side and the head of the bed should be lowered to prevent any aspiration. Anaphylaxis reaction to medications or latex, this may be avoided by reviewing the patients allergies prior to surgery. Hypoxia or other respiratory complication, which occurs with inadequate ventilation this, can be caused by many different factors, which include anesthetic agents, aspiration and the patient position on the operating table. Hypothermia occurs when the patient temperature fall unintentional hypothermia can be avoided be the use of warm air blankets. Lastly, Malignant hyperthermia is rare and is often inherited muscle disorder that is chemically induced by anesthetic
