    Lee has just returned to the ward from the operating theatre and recovery. As she has just returned to the ward, it is essential to do a full set of observations on her (vital signs, neurovascular and neurological). To get a clear understanding of the normal baseline results for this patient, checking the observations chart would be very helpful with identifying and preventing possible issues and complications relating to Mrs. Lee’s surgery. The initial perioperative assessment includes the level of consciousness (GCS), respiratory rate (depth, sounds, chest movement), blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, oxygen saturation level, pain assessment, condition and colour of the skin, circulation (peripheral pulses and sensation), condition and location of dressings, condition of suture line, condition of drain tubes/catheters, muscle strength and response, pupil response (PEARL), level of comfort, level of activity and exercise and any postoperative instructions.

    We then took Nela back to the treatment room where she was put under anesthesia. Dr. Kealoha took special precaution during this surgery because the walls of the uterus were stretched thin and the blood vessels around the uterus were larger than normal so there is a higher risk of bleeding during the surgery. The vessels are also stretched thin so they can tear even with gentle handling. Sometimes if enough blood can be lost that a blood transfusion may be required during the operation. In order to prevent that Dr. Kealoha took extra care in handling and suturing of the site. Nela made it through surgery successfully. She will stay at the hospital for 24-48hours for monitoring before going home to the Zorics where after some TLC she…
