perioperative nursing

Perioperative nursing is specialized nursing care provided before, during, and after surgery. These nurses prepare patients for surgery by assessing their health, explaining procedures, and ensuring they are ready physically and emotionally. During surgery, they assist the surgical team, monitor vital signs, and maintain a sterile environment. Afterward, they help with recovery, manage pain, observe for complications, and provide education on aftercare. This continuous care helps ensure the safety, comfort, and optimal recovery of the patient throughout the entire surgical experience.
