h[oJ>&T!q)uJJlG Postanesthetic recovery for ambulatory surgery patients is often divided into three phases: early, intermediate, and late. In accordance with the ASA Standards, at our institution, any patient who receives a general or regional anesthetic is transported to the PACU. Finally, the literature is insufficient to determine the benefits of rescue support availability during moderate procedural sedation/analgesia. Discharge criteria met with one or two exceptions. Phase II recovery focuses on preparing patients for hospital discharge, including education regarding the surgeon's postoperative instructions and any prescribed discharge medications.

Endoscopist administered sedation during ERCP: Impact of chronic narcotic/benzodiazepine use and predictive risk of reversal agent utilization. For ambulatory surgery patients, this often takes 1 to 3 days. ASPAN standards for staffing? %%EOF See table 2 for additional information related to airway assessment. A response limited to reflex withdrawal from a painful stimulus is not considered a purposeful response and thus represents a state of general anesthesia.

Assessment of conceptual issues, practicality and feasibility of the guideline recommendations was also evaluated, with opinion data collected from surveys and other sources. Phase 2 is when the patient no longer requires phase 1 level of nursing care.

When discharge criteria are used, they must be approved by the Department of Anesthesiology and the medical staff. The first study published in the era of pulse oximetry examined 18,000 anesthetics and found that the three most common post-op complications were: (1) nausea/vomiting (42% of complications); (2) need for upper airway support (29%); and (3) hypotension (13%). Preprocedure patient evaluation consists of the following strategies for reducing sedation-related adverse outcomes: (1) reviewing previous medical records for underlying medical problems (e.g., abnormalities of major organ systems, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, anatomical airway problems, congenital syndromes with associated medical/surgical issues, respiratory disease, allergies, intestinal inflammation); sedation, anesthesia, and surgery history; history of or current problems pertaining to cooperation, pain tolerance, or sensitivity to anesthesia or sedation; current medications; extremes of age; psychotropic drug use; use of nonpharmaceuticals (e.g., nutraceuticals); and family history; (2) a focused physical examination; and (3) preprocedure laboratory testing (where indicated).
