1. Perioperative nurses must bridge the information gap and eliminate public misconceptions about surgery and OR nursing. Fear of the unknown realm of surgery and televised inaccuracies about surgical procedures magnify the lack of awareness of health care consumers about surgery and the holistic nursing care perioperative nurses provide for their patients. 2. There is a national need for more aggressive general promotion of health care awareness and education. This need can be successfully facilitated at the grassroots level with minimal efforts from members of our surgical departments. 3. One effective way to solve this problem is to invite health care consumers into our facilities.

1. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are major health problems that often result in significant postsurgical morbidity and mortality. 2. To prevent DVT, patient care includes graduated compression stockings or the use of a pneumatic compression device, and administration of the correct dose of anticoagulation agent (heparin or LMWH). 3. Taken together, the various drug therapies and physical interventions can clearly prevent DVT. Careful evaluation of the patient's risk factors, along with a monitored postoperative therapy can minimize the morbidity and mortality of this "unseen" condition.

1. Although many adult ocular procedures may be done equally well under local or general anesthesia, with children, the anesthesiologist almost always has to administer general anesthesia to guarantee satisfactory surgical conditions. 2. Patient preparation includes parental understanding of the procedure, the anesthetic and its implications, and the care of the postoperative child. In general, anesthetic induction is accomplished in an age-appropriate fashion. 3. Basic discharge criteria include the following: Vital signs should be stable and normal; there should be no signs of respiratory distress; mental status should be age-appropriate and back to baseline; the patient should demonstrate the ability to either swallow fluids, cough, or have an intact gag reflex; the patient should be able to ambulate, if age-appropriate and baseline; and the patient always must have a responsible, well-informed escort home. engaging and diverting; have a collection of stories or songs ready.
