Registered nurses in the operating room require specialized competencies that surpass basic educational training. Existing national and international documents attempt to outline these competencies but often lack comprehensive details. To address this, a repertoire of technical and professional competencies for operating room nurses, aligned with European and National Qualifications Frameworks, is proposed. Aim: Develop a repertoire of technical and professional competencies for perioperative and perianesthesiological specialist nursing roles. Methods: An at-home ethnography design was employed, utilizing participant observation, interviews to the double, and focus groups. Convenience sampling included 46 participants from a university and a public hospital in northern Italy. Data were collected from September 2021 to June 2023 and analyzed using inductive content analysis and data triangulation. Results: Identified 17 specialized technical professional competencies for perioperative and perianesthesiological nursing, divided into 6 areas of activity. These competencies encompass 19 learning outcomes, 152 tasks, 222 knowledge elements, and 218 skills. Conclusions: This competency repertoire aids in the public recognition of qualifications and serves as a valuable tool for identifying, validating, and certifying competencies. Future research should focus on exploring the competencies of central sterilization nurses and transversal competencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To construct a perioperative and postoperative home nutritional intervention regimen for children with hepatoblastoma, and to evaluate its clinical application effect. Methods Semi-structured interviews, literature research, and Delphi methods were used to construct a perioperative and postoperative nutritional intervention regimen for children with he-patoblastoma. A total of 31 children with hepatoblastoma who underwent surgery in our hospital from January 2019 to August 2021 were enrolled as control group, and 31 children with hepatoblastoma who underwent surgery from September 2021 to December 2023 were enrolled as experimental group. The children in the control group received routine diagnosis, treatment, and nursing, and those in the experimental group received the nutritional intervention regimen in addition to the intervention in the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of nutritional status, blood biochemical parameters (serum albumin, serum prealbumin, and blood hemoglobin), body height, body weight, and body mass index at 1 week before surgery and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery, and the clinical guiding significance and practical effect of the nutritional intervention regimen was assessed. Results At 1 and 3 months after surgery, compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significant reduction in the numbers of children with mild-to-moderate malnutrition and severe malnutrition (Z=-2.799,-3.697,P

Objective To investigate the effect of care bundles based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery in perioperative nursing of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods A total of 260 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into observation group (n=130, received routine nursing care) and control group (n=130, received care bundles based on the concept of enhanced recovery). Postoperative recovery condition, incidence of complications and postoperative pain were compared between the two groups. Results At 2, 6 and 24 h after surgery, the Visual Analogue Scale of pain in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, with a significant difference(P＜0. 05). The time to first postoperative exhaustion, time to off-bed activities and hospital stays in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P＜0. 05). The incidence of vomiting, incision infection, and bile leakage in the control group was significantly higher than that in the observation group, with a significant difference (P＜0. 05). Conclusion The application of care bundles based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery are conducive to the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as well as the improvement of postoperative quality of life.

Abstract Background Effective feedback is fundamental in clinical education, as it allows trainers to constantly diagnose the trainees’ condition, determine their weaknesses, and intervene at proper times. Recently, different feedback-based approaches have been introduced in clinical training; however, the effectiveness of such interventions still needs to be studied extensively, especially in the perioperative field. Therefore, this study sought to compare the effects of apprenticeship training using sandwich feedback and traditional methods on the perioperative competence and performance of Operating Room (OR) technology students. Methods Thirty final-semester undergraduate OR technology students taking the apprenticeship courses were randomly allocated into experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups through the stratified randomization approach. The students in the experimental group experienced Feedback-Based Learning (FBL) using a sandwich model, and the students in the control group participated in Traditional-Based Training (TBT) in six five-hour sessions weekly for three consecutive weeks. All students completed the Persian version of the Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised (PPCS-R) on the first and last days of interventions. Also, a blinded rater completed a checklist to evaluate all students’ performance via Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) on the last intervention day. Besides, the students in the FBL filled out a questionnaire regarding their attitude toward the implemented program. Results The mean total score of the PPCS-R was significantly higher in the FBL than in the TBT on the last intervention day (P

Besides, the students in the FBL filled out a questionnaire regarding their attitude toward the implemented program. Results: The mean total score of the PPCS-R was significantly higher in the FBL than in the TBT on the last intervention day (P < 0.001). Additionally, the increase in mean change of PPCS-R total score from the first to last days was significantly more in the FBL (P < 0.001). Likewise, the FBL students had higher DOPS scores than the TBT ones (P < 0.001). Most FBL students also had a good attitude toward the implemented program (n = 8; 53.3%). Conclusion: Apprenticeship training using a sandwich feedback-based approach was superior to the traditional method for enhancing perioperative competence and performance of final-semester OR technology students. Additional studies are required to identify the sustainability of the findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Objective: to analyze the effectiveness of auriculotherapy for decreasing anxiety and stress of perioperative nursing professionals. Method: mixed methods research, embedded experimental model. In the quantitative stage, a randomized, triple-blind clinical trial was conducted with perioperative nursing professionals, who answered a characterization questionnaire, the List of Signs and Symptoms of Stress, and the General Anxiety Disorder-GAD 7. The participants attended eight auriculotherapy sessions with semi-permanent needles. The qualitative stage was exploratory and descriptive, in which data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Data were mixed with the incorporation of qualitative findings to examine the intervention in the experimental study. Results: 13 professionals participated in the intervention group and 14 in the control group. Anxiety and stress levels decreased significantly within groups, though no statistical difference was found between groups (p>0.05). The central category, “Auriculotherapy as an intervention to treat anxiety and stress,” emerged from the qualitative data, which was subdivided into a base unit and three categories concerning the therapy’s benefits. Conclusion: applying real and sham auriculotherapy had the same effect on the participants’ anxiety and stress levels; the reports reinforced such evidence. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as auriculotherapy, are essential for recovering and promoting the health of perioperative nursing professionals.

Objective: to analyze the evidence on applying the Risk Assessment Scale for the Development of Injuries Resulting from Surgical Positioning in the perioperative period. Methods: an integrative review was conducted by searching four health databases and gray literature. A reference manager was used to import the identified records and remove duplicate publications. The Rayyan web application was used to select primary studies. Data analysis and synthesis were carried out in descriptive form. Results: the sample consisted of 17 surveys. In 15, the authors applied the scale in health services to investigate the risk of developing injuries resulting from surgical positioning and the occurrence of injuries; for example, pressure injury. In one study, the scale was adopted to analyze the concurrent validity of the Munro scale and, in another, for the translation and validation of the scale in Turkey. Conclusion: the scale was applied mainly to assess the risk of injuries in different surgical environments. Contributions to practice: the evidence generated supports the use of the scale in health services and indicates the need to conduct more robust research.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the development, content validation, and usability of an application to orient surgical patients and ensure their safety. Method: Methodological study, carried out between July and August 2023, developed in three stages: (1) selection of relevant content based on a review of scientific literature; (2) development of the application; and (3) validation of the content and usability of the software, evaluated using two validated instruments, which were sent to eight nurse judges from the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Santa Catarina, and eight professional information technology judges from Minas Gerais. Results: The contents of the “Minha Cirurgia” application included information based on relevant scientific literature regarding patient safety, preoperative guidelines, timing of surgery, and post-surgical care. Its content was classified as “superior” and its usability was classified as “the best possible” by the judges. Conclusion: The application was approved by nurses and IT professionals regarding its content and usability. It will be available for free download in the Play Store. The tool is expected to be useful in the education of surgical patients, allowing them to acquire knowledge that supports them in the search for safe care.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to map available evidence on telenursing use in the postoperative period and its impact on patient outcomes. Methods: a scoping review, conducted according to the JBI model and the PRISMA-ScR checklist. The search was carried out in the CINAHL, Embase, LILACS, PubMed, Web of Science, SciELO, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases. Results: twelve studies were included, published between 2011 and 2023, 66.6% of which were in developed countries. Of the positive outcomes, we highlight improved levels of disability, autonomy and quality of life, lower rates of post-operative complications, pain and reduced costs. Telephone monitoring was the most widely used modality, but there were few studies in the pediatric context and in Brazil. Conclusions: of the studies, 11 (91.6%) identified at least one positive outcome in telenursing use and none showed negative aspects in the postoperative period. The role of nurses in digital health needs further study.

Objective: to analyze the safety attitudes of health and support areas professionals working in Surgical Center. Method: sequential explanatory mixed methods study. The quantitative stage covered 172 health and support professionals in eight Surgical Centers of a hospital complex. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Surgical Center was applied. In the subsequent qualitative stage, 16 professionals participated in the Focus Group. Photographic methods were used from the perspective of ecological and restorative thinking, and data analysis occurred in an integrated manner, through connection. Results: the general score, by group of Surgical Centers, based on the domains of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Surgical Center, reveals a favorable perception of the safety climate, with emphasis on the domains Stress Perception, Communication in the Surgical Environment, Safety Climate and Perception of Professional Performance. The overall analysis of the domain Communication and Collaboration between Teams appears positive and is corroborated by data from the qualitative stage, which highlights the importance of interaction and communication between healthcare teams as fundamental for daily work. Conclusion: the perception of safety attitudes among health and support professionals was positive. The perception of the nursing team stands out as closer or more favorable to attitudes consistent with the safety culture.

Objectives: this study aimed at estimating and comparing the reliability of temperature measurements obtained using a peripheral infrared temporal thermometer, a central cutaneous thermometer (“Zero-Heat-Flux Cutaneous thermometer”) and an esophageal or nasopharyngeal thermometer among elective surgical patients in the intraoperative period. Method: a longitudinal study with repeated measures carried out by convenience sampling of 99 patients, aged at least 18 years old, undergoing elective abdominal cancer surgeries, with anesthesia lasting at least one hour, with each patient having their temperature measured by all three methods. Results: the intraclass correlation coefficient showed a low correlation between the measurements using the peripheral temporal thermometer and the central cutaneous (0.0324) and esophageal/nasopharyngeal (-0.138) thermometers. There was a high correlation (0.744) between the central thermometers evaluated. Conclusion: the data from the current study do not recommend using infrared temporal thermometers as a strategy for measuring the body temperature of patients undergoing anesthetic-surgical procedures. Central cutaneous thermometers and esophageal/nasopharyngeal thermometers are equivalent for detecting intraoperative hypothermia.

Background: Perioperative nursing plays an important role in the success of any surgery. In Malawi, pre-service training is the only source of perioperative knowledge for nurses. In order to ensure that nurses are adequately prepared with perioperative knowledge and skills, an effective assessment of perioperative competence is required. The Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised (PPCS-R) is a scientifically developed and psychometrically validated tool for assessing perioperative nurses’ competence. Therefore, this study aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised (PPCS-R) for use on undergraduate student nurses in Malawi. Methods: The adaptation of the PPCS-R involved a review by a panel of experts for content validity followed by an evaluation of Psychometric properties through a confirmatory factor analysis. The confirmatory factor analysis evaluated the reliability coefficient and factor loading for the scale based on data from 100 former nursing students. Results: Content analysis led to the exclusion of six items while twelve items were revised. The confirmatory Factor Analysis yielded 6 factors with Cronbach’s alpha ranging between 0.811 to 0.879. Conclusion: The Malawian student version of the PPCS-R has good reliability, validity, and psychometric properties. This will enable nurse educators, preceptors, clinical nurses, and even student nurses to assess perioperative nursing competency for undergraduate student nurses in Malawi.

Background and objectives: As novice nurses transition into the workforce, they often experience transition shock as they assimilate into a new role, causing cause significant stress, anxiety and job dissatisfaction. This phenomenon is commonly observed within the perioperative nursing speciality. The development of transition support programs is aimed at assisting novice nurses' transition by providing fundamental knowledge, socialisation, support, and training.This review aimed to uncover the support programs and their components available to nurses transitioning into the perioperative speciality. The research question that provided guidance for this review was ‘What are the transition support arrangements, and their characteristics, to support new graduate nurses and novice nurses who are transitioning into perioperative nursing?'. Literature search: Arksey & O'Malley's’ five-step scoping review framework was used. The researchers performed a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Proquest, CINHAL and SCOPUS with no limit on publication date until April 2023. A blinded screening process was undertaken, and the data extraction was tabulated. Data was presented as a narrative synthesis following thematic analysis. Results: The initial search identified 537 publications. Screening and duplicate removal led to the exclusion of 512 publications. Of the 25 publications included in this review, two were primary research publications, while the other 23 were discussion papers. Analysis indicated that program approaches and components of programs were frequently described. Conclusion: The findings highlight the significance of transition programs within the perioperative speciality area. However, the paucity of empirical evidence on the pedagogical underpinnings and evaluation of effectiveness indicates the need for further research. Conducting further research within perioperative transition to practice will enable programs to be designed based on theoretically-sound and evidence-based approaches to support nursing transition to practice within the speciality perioperative environment.

Abstract Background To minimize the risk of perioperative hypothermia, it is recommended that healthcare professionals be familiar with heat conservation measures and use passive and active warming methods, in line with international guidelines. However, there is a low level of adherence perioperatively to the use of heat conservation measures. To understand why, there is a need to capture the nurse anesthetists’ perspective. The aim is to describe nurse anesthetists’ perceptions of heat conservation measures in connection with surgery. Methods An inductive descriptive design with a phenomenographic approach was chosen. A total of 19 nurse anesthetists participated and were interviewed. Data were analyzed according to Larsson and Holmström’s phenomenographic seven-step model. Results Six ways of understanding the phenomenon heat conservation measures in connection with surgery were found: the preventive, the useable, the untenable, the caring, the adaptive, and the routine care approach. These approaches were related to each other in a flexible way, allowing for several to co-exist at the same time, depending on the situation. Conclusions Nurse anesthetists want to prevent the patients’ heat loss and maintain normothermia, regardless of the type of surgery. This willingness, motivation, and intention enable the use of heat conservation measures. However, there are perceptions that have an impact, such as doubts and uncertainty, access, time and financial constraints, preconditions, routines or habits, and lack of availability of education/training. These barriers will require support from an organizational level to promote lifelong education and guidelines. As well as offer education at the nurse anesthetists’ program.

This paper summarized the multicultural nursing management for a patient with giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Based on the self-management and clinical application of postoperative power-assisted enveloped-type special garment, health guidance and nursing interventions were carried out to improve the clinical outcomes of the patient and avoid the rupture of the pseudoaneurysm. During the perioperative period, the multicultural nursing theory was used to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of self-management. Aiming for prevention of adverse factors, the multicultural nursing team led by the primary nurse participated in the formulation of patient self-management, provided nursing care consistent with the patient's culture and health education, and made full preparation for the patient with standardized nursing behavior.

The effect of Donabedian three-dimensional quality evaluation model is explored for the high-quality nursing during perioperative period of endoscopic mucosal dissection in early gastric cancer male patients. Seventy-eight early gastric cancer male patients were randomly grouped as 39 cases in control having received routine care, while 39 in the intervention group having received routine care combined with the three-dimensional quality evaluation model. Clinical recovery indicators including anxiety, depression, pain, life quality and complications were compared for the two groups. The intervention group’s clinical nursing recovery indicator scored higher than that of the control. The scores of each the short-form 36 item health survey questionnaire (SF-36) dimension were better than those of control, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The incidence of complications in intervention group was 5.12%, and that in the control was 20.5%. The intervention group experienced less complications than the control, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Treating early gastric cancer male patients with endoscopic mucosal dissection using three-dimensional quality evaluation model can improve clinical recovery and life quality, and reduce anxiety, depression, pain and complications.

Objective This article aims to study the effect of endovascular treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and perioperative nursing experience. Methods The clinical data of 139 patients with BCS who received endovascular treatment in our hospital from December 2012 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. In this article, the technical procedure was described in detail, and the perioperative complications and follow-up results were summarized. Results Totally 128 patients received endovascular therapy successfully, with a technical success rate of 92. 09%(128/139). Among them, 112 cases were simply balloon dilated and 16 cases were stent implanted. The average pressure of inferior vena cava decreased from (29. 80±6. 20) mmHg before operation to (8. 90±2. 00) mmHg after operation. Postoperative complications occurred in 9 patients, including 2 cases of pulmonary embolism, 1 case of cardiac tamponade, 1 case of vena cava rupture, 5 cases of left heart failure and pulmonary edema, and 3 cases of perioperative all-cause death (2. 16%). 114 patients were followed up after operation, with an average follow-up of 36 months. The 1-year restenosis rate after simple ball expansion was 22. 45%(22/98), and the 1-year restenosis rate after stent implantation was 12. 50%(2/16); the 3-year survival rate of patients was 90. 35%(103/114). Conclusion Endovascular technique is a safe and effective method for the treatment of BCS. The first choice for treatment is simple balloon molding.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze and determine the effect of a combination intervention of early ambulation and dhikr therapy on intestinal peristaltic recovery in post-open cholecystectomy patients. Methods: a pre-experimental design with one group pre and post-test design was used. The samples were 15 post-open cholecystectomy patients which were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using the instrument observation sheet and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Early ambulation used standard operational procedure in the hospital and dhikr therapy was carried out at 2 hours post-operation for 10-15 minutes. Results: there was an effect of early ambulation and dhikr therapy on intestinal peristaltic recovery in post-open cholecystectomy patients with general anesthesia (Z=-3.442; p=0.001). Conclusions: a combination of early ambulation and dhikr therapy can be recommended as interventions to improve intestinal peristaltic in a post-open cholecystectomy patient with general anesthesia.

ABSTRACT Objective: To develop and validate an instrument to assist in the systematization of perioperative nursing care in robotic surgery. Methods: Methodological study developed in four phases: content survey; textual elaboration; content validation by the group of expert judges and target audience; and elaboration of the electronic instrument layout. Results: Eleven expert judges and seven evaluators of the target audience participated. For validation, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was used with a 0.78 cutoff point. The instrument total CVI after evaluation was 0.90 by the expert judges and 0.88 by the target audience. Conclusion: The tool built was proved satisfactory for the systematization of perioperative nursing care. The instrument construction was based on the updated scientific literature and validated by the expert judges and target audience.

Background: Operating room nurses have specialised technical and non-technical skills and are essential members of the surgical team. The profession's dependency of tacit knowledge has made their non-technical skills difficult to access for researchers, thus, creating limitations in the identification of the non-technical skills of operating room nurses. Non-technical skills are categorised in the crew resource management framework, and previously, non-technical skills of operating room nurses have been identified within the scope of the framework. The purpose of this study is to explore operating room nurses' descriptions of their practices in search for non-technical skills not included in the crew resource management framework. Methods: This study has a qualitative design. An expert panel of experienced operating room nurses (N = 96) in Norway provided qualitative descriptions of their practice in a Delphi survey. The data were analysed in an inductive thematic analysis. This study was conducted and reported in line with Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR). Results: The inductive thematic analysis developed two themes, 'Ethical competence' and 'Professional accountability', that encompass operating room nurses' novel descriptions of their non-technical skills. The participants take pride in having the patients' best interest as their main objective even if this may threaten their position in the team. Conclusions: This study has identified novel non-technical skills that are not described in the crew resource management framework. These findings will contribute to the development of a new behavioural marker system for the non-technical skills of operating room nurses. This system will facilitate verbalisation of tacit knowledge and contribute to an increased knowledge about the operating room nursing profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: To minimize the risk of perioperative hypothermia, it is recommended that healthcare professionals be familiar with heat conservation measures and use passive and active warming methods, in line with international guidelines. However, there is a low level of adherence perioperatively to the use of heat conservation measures. To understand why, there is a need to capture the nurse anesthetists' perspective. The aim is to describe nurse anesthetists' perceptions of heat conservation measures in connection with surgery. Methods: An inductive descriptive design with a phenomenographic approach was chosen. A total of 19 nurse anesthetists participated and were interviewed. Data were analyzed according to Larsson and Holmström's phenomenographic seven-step model. Results: Six ways of understanding the phenomenon heat conservation measures in connection with surgery were found: the preventive, the useable, the untenable, the caring, the adaptive, and the routine care approach. These approaches were related to each other in a flexible way, allowing for several to co-exist at the same time, depending on the situation. Conclusions: Nurse anesthetists want to prevent the patients' heat loss and maintain normothermia, regardless of the type of surgery. This willingness, motivation, and intention enable the use of heat conservation measures. However, there are perceptions that have an impact, such as doubts and uncertainty, access, time and financial constraints, preconditions, routines or habits, and lack of availability of education/training. These barriers will require support from an organizational level to promote lifelong education and guidelines. As well as offer education at the nurse anesthetists' program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To explore the application and nursing cooperation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS) in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant biliary stricture. From January 2015 to December 2020, 208 patients with biliary stricture of unknown origin were treated with ERCP combined with IDUS. The operation was successfully completed in all 208 cases. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy, operation and follow-up. There were 87 cases of malignant stricture, including 50 cases of cholangiocarcinoma (21 cases in the lower segment, 19 cases in the middle segment, 10 cases in the upper segment / hilar), 15 cases of pancreatic cancer, 12 cases of ampullary cancer, 10 cases of other metastatic tumor invasion, and 121 cases of benign stricture. There were 92 cases of hyperamylasemia and 1 case of delayed bleeding, no perforation was reported. After fasting, anti-inflammatory, hemostasis, enzyme inhibition and rehydration, they were all improved and discharged. Psychological guidance and perfect preparation before operation, tacit cooperation during operation, prevention and observation of complications, and careful nursing after operation are key issues to ensure the successful completion of the examination.

Objective To investigate the application effect of enhanced recovery after surgery in perioperative nursing of patients with choledochojejunostomy. Methods Totally 80 patients undergoing choledochojejunostomy were randomly divided into the control group and observation group, with 40 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routing care during the treatement, and those in the observation group received perioperative nursing interventions based on the theory of enhanced recovery after surgery. Primary outcomes were first anal exhaust time, length of hospital stay, hospitalization costs and incidence of postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes were time to remove the gastric tube, time to remove the urinary catheter, time to food-taking, time to off-bed activity and volume of fluid infusion. Results The first anal exhaust time and length of hospital stay in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P＜0. 01). The hospitalization costs in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0. 01). The time to remove the gastric tube, time to remove the urinary catheter and time to off-bed activity in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P＜0. 01). The volume of fluid infusion in the observation group was less than that in the control group (P＜0. 01). The incidence rate of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0. 05). Conclusion The enhanced recovery after surgery is effective and safe in perioperative nursing of patients with choledochojejunostomy, it has a positive effect on reducing the incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective To compare the efficacy of dual-frequency dual-pulse laser lithotripsy under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and traditional endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy in the treatment of patients with common bile duct stones, and summarize perioperative nursing measures. Methods From May 2018 to May 2022, the clinical data of 200 patients with common bile duct stones who underwent ERCP treatment and lithotripsy were retrospectively analyzed, of which 69 patients were treated with dual-frequency dual-pulse laser lithotripsy (Laser group) and 131 patients were treated with mechanical lithotripsy (Mechanical group), and the success rate of stone extraction, operation time, postoperative hospital stay time and complications of two groups of patients were compared. Results There was no significant difference in baseline data such as general conditions and preoperative clinical data between two groups (P＞0. 05). Neither neither Laser group nor Mechanical group had reported the perioperative death case. There were no significant difference in postoperative bleeding, postoperative pancreatitis and perforation complication rates in the two groups (P＞0. 05). The surgical time in the Laser group was significantly longer than that in the Mechanical group (P＜0. 05). The postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the Laser group than that in the Mechanical group(P＜0. 05), and the total complication rate and stone residue rate were lower in the Laser group than those in the Mechanical group (P＜0. 05). Conclusion The treatment of common bile duct stones by dual-frequency dual-pulse laser lithotripsy has better efficacy and lower complication rate than traditional surgical mechanical lithotripsy, but there is still room for improvement in the operation time.

The cardiac catheter laboratory, which in many health care facilities falls under the umbrella of perioperative services, generally sits geographically outside the traditional operating suite. Perhaps due in part to this geographical distance, standards that are routinely applied in the operating suite may not be applied in the cardiac catheter laboratory. One such standard is the management of accountable items such as swabs, surgical instruments, sharps and sheaths. Well-known standards and guidelines for managing accountable items recommend mandatory counting and documentation of all accountable items in environments where a surgical item may be left behind; yet, despite this, counting is not mandatory in the cardiac catheter laboratory. The risk of items (or parts thereof) being unintentionally retained during percutaneous procedures, such as those performed in the cardiac catheter laboratory, are low; however, this complication still occurs, with several case studies reporting broken and fragmented surgical instruments and/or equipment being retained in patients following procedures. As the complexity of percutaneous cardiac catheter laboratory cases increases, so does the potential requirement of reversion to open procedures should a serious complication occur; and this, in turn, is known to increase the risk of a surgical item being retained during the subsequent procedure. Performing surgical counts in the cardiac catheter laboratory would improve patient safety during the intra-procedural/intra-operative period by reducing the risk of a surgical item (or parts thereof) being unintentionally left behind, a complication that is likely to result in patient harm. This discussion paper aims to not only highlight the vital importance of performing a full surgical count of all items used during cardiac catheter laboratory procedures but also to advocate for pre- and post-procedural inspection of sheaths, angioplasty balloons, stents and wires to ensure they are intact at the beginning and end of the procedure. These pre- and postprocedural inspections are vitally important, not just in the cardiac catheter laboratory but in all other areas, such as operating suites, endoscopy and interventional radiology, where endovascular devices are used.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the factors explaining protective behaviors against radiation exposure in perioperative nurses based on the theory of planned behavior. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 229 perioperative nurses participated between October 3 and October 20, 2021. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 software. The three exogenous variables (attitude toward radiation protective behaviors, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) and two endogenous variables (radiation protective intention and radiation protective behaviors) were surveyed. Results: The hypothetical model fit the data (χ2/df = 1.18, SRMR = .02, TLI = .98, CFI = .99, RMSEA = .03). Radiation protective intention (β = .24, p = .001) and attitude toward radiation protective behaviors (β = .32, p = .002) had direct effects on radiation protective behaviors. Subjective norm (β = .43, p = .002) and perceived behavior control (β = .24, p = .003) had direct effects on radiation protective intention, which explained 38.0% of the variance. Subjective norm (β = .10, p = .001) and perceived behavior control (β = .06, p = .002) had indirect effects via radiation protective intention on radiation protective behaviors. Attitude toward radiation protective behaviors, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control were the significant factors explaining 49.0% of the variance in radiation protective behaviors. Conclusion: This study shows that the theory of planned behavior can be used to effectively predict radiation protective behaviors in perioperative nurses. Radiation safety guidelines or education programs to enhance perioperative nurses' protective behaviors should focus on radiation protective intention, attitude toward radiation protective behaviors, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control.

Introduction: pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is the treatment of choice and the only potentially curative option for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary arterial hypertension. Objective: To integrate the information available in the scientific literature on nurse involvement in pulmonary thromboendarterectomy. Method: integrative review for which a search of primary articles was carried out in databases such as: CUIDEN, SAGE, Springer, Scholar, Scopus, Taylor and Francis, PubMed, ScienceDirect and LILACS. Search strategies were defined in both English and Spanish, no period was established, a database was built with the information obtained and this was integrated in a narrative way. Results: 8 articles were included, 5 of them were topics reviews. Nurse plays a critical role, participating in the different intervention phases within the surgical context, promoting the patient’s hemodynamic evolution; skillfully detecting problems related to cardiac output, severe changes in pulmonary pressure, ventilatory needs applied to the patient and hydroelectrolytic management; it also dominates the complications that are the cornerstone derived from the procedure. Conclusions: The nurse plays in the processes of understanding the diagnosis, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phase; However, there are limitations in the production of knowledge in this event of interest from nursing.

The disparity in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians continues to increase. Barriers to accessing health care, particularly surgical treatment, contribute to health inequalities among Indigenous Australians. Despite a positive correlation between improved patient experiences and health outcomes, there is little research available on nursing interventions to improve Indigenous patients' perioperative health care treatment. This discussion paper investigates culturally appropriate and evidence- based nursing interventions that can be applied in the perioperative setting to improve the surgical experience of Indigenous patients. It was shown that establishing trust among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients through anaesthetic nurse practices and advocating for family involvement is critical in providing culturally safe care and enhancing patient experiences. Indigenous health liaison officers were also identified as a valuable resource in bridging cultural and communication gaps between health care providers and Indigenous patients. These findings demonstrate that using tailored nursing strategies while providing perioperative care to Indigenous Australians can enhance their perioperative health care experience and contribute to improving health outcomes of Indigenous Australians. It is therefore recommended that perioperative nurses adopt these strategies; however, further research is needed to investigate implementation of an enhanced role for anaesthetic nurses, advocating for family involvement and referral to Indigenous health liaison officers. Such research should evaluate the impact of these new holistic and patient-centred approaches on the health outcomes and experiencecs of Indigenous patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to analyze the contributions of auriculotherapy to the health of nursing professionals in perioperative units. Method: exploratory, descriptive study developed with eight nursing professionals from perioperative units of a teaching hospital in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. Data collected with semi-structured interview. Discursive textual analysis was applied. Results: a central category was built: repercussions of auriculotherapy for perioperative nursing professionals; it was unitized into a base unit and three categories of analysis. Conclusion: auriculotherapy proved to be a beneficial practice for the health of perioperative nursing professionals, while helping to relieve symptoms such as anxiety, stress, tiredness, irritability, bruxism and gastrointestinal discomforts, as well as improving sleep, interpersonal relationships with family members and the work team, reducing tobacco use and weight loss. This research reveals auriculotherapy as a promising practice for the health of perioperative nursing workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Method: cross-sectional study conducted between May and August, 2017. The sample was 157 adult patients undergoing elective surgical procedures. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: the clinical diagnosis of dry eye prevailed in 85.35% of patients, and the nursing diagnosis Risk of dry eye in 14.65%. Statistical differences were observed between hyperemia, excessive tearing and insufficient Schirmer test with the diagnosis of ocular dryness in the right eye and with the diagnosis Risk of dry eye. In the left eye the Schirmer test was insufficient. Conclusion: hyperemia, excessive tearing and insufficient Schirmer test are relevant perioperative clinical predictors to promote preventive measures and/or early detection of dry eye.
