Abstract

Perianesthesia nurses experienced a great deal of anxiety and frustration while working in the pre-operative holding area of the UNMH outpatient surgery center. The pre-operative set-up was not conducive to monitoring sedated patients and lacked a standardized protocol for working with patients receiving peripheral nerve blocks. Additionally, there were no tools for patient education regarding the expectations and care needed after receiving a nerve block. Perianesthesia nurses advocated for safer, more efficient means of caring for patients in this specialized setting.
