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!

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.
You're Welcome Scott!
Great info! I hate when they prescribe those drugs to me. I never take them, I only ever use over the counter!
Thank you! Just moving into PACU and trying to learn all I can.

Thank you for this. I just started getting this after having Covid.
You're welcome, sorry you're experiencing this after covid. You may want to see an ENT if it is chronic in nature.
@@pacunursingminutes Yes! My GP referred me to one this week after I ended up in ER this weekend with nightly SOB. Thank you!

is there a phase 3 in pacu??
Extended Recovery is the next phase if they aren't ready for D/C in Phase II.
Thanks nurse Cathy! I appreciated Eladio's questions.
Sentinel events created nurse staffing recommendations learn about it here!
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.
Thanks for sharing your experience, we have a lot of growth to do to protect our nurses from WAG in the PACU.
thank you for making this chanel. 😊

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

What is your experience with Amisulpride?
Great Question, this is a rather new antiemetic drug and where I work its not on formulary. If anyone has used it please comment on your experience and efficacy.
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.
Thank you!

Hi. Thank you for sharing your knowledge through ur videos. I'm a Pacu nurse and a new subscriber 😊. Just a question why oxycodone IV is not mentioned. This is very commonly given post op in our pacu
Great Comment! I believe we will begin to see more IV Oxycodone use in PACU, as we move away from routine Fentanyl use.
Sale ends on the 12.29.23, plan now to study with our certification review course and make a plan to test and get certified in 2024.
Yes, the sale is on Now!
Im 72 I've had a total of 5 of these throughout my life over the last 5 years...I always get them after being in a deep sleep,wake up suddenly and start fighting for air,gasping for breath and fighting for my life...they leave me with a pounding fast heart rate and usually feel quite emotional after them.Ive read that losing weight helps a lot and sleeping with lots of pillows will help,Im going to practice the Larsons maneuver.Good Luck.
