About the Role
The program provides the successful applicant with structured introduction to both Anaesthetic and PACU nursing, with planned speciality rotations through the theatre suite and dedicated support. It incorporates several study days and an end of program assessment.
Anaesthetic Nurse:
The role of the anaesthetic nurse is a duel one that encompasses both the role of the perioperative nurse and the role of the assistant for the anaesthetist. Working collaboratively as a member of the anaesthetic team, the anaesthetic nurse is an integral part of the overall perioperative management of the vulnerable patient in a high acuity environment.
The role of the anaesthetic nurse is integral to the patient's safe journey from the perioperative area through to the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU).
Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) Nurse:
A PACU nurse is responsible for the care and monitoring of patients immediately after surgery.
They work in the Post-Anaesthetic Care Unit, attached directly to the theatre suite. They are responsible for detection and safe management of complications related to either the surgery, or the anaesthetic. Their core skills encompass Airway Management, Patient Assessment and Monitoring, Pain and Nausea Management, in addition to the other aspects of post-operative surgical care. Nurses collaborate closely with the Surgeons, Anaesthetists, and other healthcare team members to ensure continuity of care and facilitate a smooth handover from the operating room.
