PACU Nursing Minutes

PACU Nursing Minutes

PACU Nursing Minutes
Was founded to solve one question…. What does a nurse do in the recovery room?

PACU Nursing Minutes
Is your PeriAnesthesia Nursing Education Resource.

Do you know all the different kinds of Anesthesia? How long will it take to recover from…? You name it, I’ll cover it!

Nurses need to know which main post-operative side effects to anticipate, and here is where we will discuss them.
PACU Nursing Minutes will review evidence-based practice, that can be applied today!

Are you thinking of getting your CPAN certification?
Tune in here!

On the PACU Nursing Minutes channel I’ll share with you specific and essential education on providing post-operative nursing care.

Thank You for your viewership!

    I have been a critical care nurse for 17 years and a few months ago I moved to PACU. I noticed my first few days there I felt dizzy and a little nauseous. I just thought I had a bug. But over a few months I noticed I repeatedly had those symptoms and only while at work. I never called off or anything and nobody else seemed to have this issue. I really thought it was in my head. After three months I just felt PACU wasn’t for me and transferred back to my old unit. I’ve not felt dizzy since. This video makes me wonder if I was just more sensitive to the WAG than other nurses.

    Do not bend your neck forward when eating especially, that can start laryngospasm

  • @lindamist7051
    @lindamist70514 ай бұрын

    I have had three laryngospasms and I was terrified as I thought I was going to die. Could vomiting bring on an attack as it feels like acid in the throat doesnt help. If you were vomiting and it happened you would surely choke on vomit as it couldnt come up? This terrifies me.

  • @pacunursingminutes
    @pacunursingminutes4 ай бұрын

    Linda, it would be wise to be evaluated by an ENT if this is a frequent occurrence for you. Secretions can and do trigger laryngospasm. You may need to be evaluated for any anatomical abnormality.

    We just rolled out the use of amisulpride. It was rolled out by our eras committee and we don’t use regular now. I’m on the fence about it because I really liked regular for laparoscopic procedures that had cramping and gas pain.
