Description
A comprehensive guide to operating department practice has been thoroughly revised and updated. This second edition provides the knowledge and evidence-base needed for perioperative practitioners, clarifying underlying principles for anaesthetic, surgical, and recovery practice. It defines the level of knowledge required for this role and offers a comprehensive reference to modern operating department practice. The book covers a diverse range of topics, including new techniques and technologies, changes in medico-legal requirements, professional accountability, and continuous professional development. Twelve new chapters explore healthcare ethics and professional regulation, health and safety, infection prevention and control, basic patient monitoring, human factors, and perioperative care for paediatric patients. Incorporating a focus on evidence-based practice and holistic care, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone working in the sector, whether in education or practice.
