Surgical Nursing Interventions
By reading the books of Textbook of Canadian MedicalSurgical Nursing and Fundamentals of Nursing I leaned the concepts
that revolve around surgical nursing intervention which includes
dressings, drains, irrigation, packing, staples and sutures, as well as
wound VAC (vacuum assisted closure). Furthermore, the theories I
learned from books was supplemented with educational videos that
discusses perioperative care. Moreover, while attending laboratory I
experience how to asses wounds, applying and removing different
types of dressings, emptying, removing and shortening drains, as well
as wound irrigation and packing, and removal of staples and sutures.
