Description

Caring for the Perioperative Patient by Paul Wicker and Joy O'Neill is a practical guide to essential core skills and knowledge required by perioperative practitioners. The book explores key issues such as pharmacology, communication, homeostasis, and equipment, as well as specific practice issues like enhanced competence, patient preparation, and care during anaesthesia, surgery, and recovery. This updated edition of the text is designed to be skills-focused, using examples of techniques or procedures to illustrate how skills can be applied in perioperative practice. It is an essential resource for nurses and operating department practitioners who care for patients undergoing surgery, as well as students working in perioperative care. The book's emphasis on holistic patient-centred care makes it a valuable tool for anyone involved in providing high-quality care during the perioperative period.
