Ravyk Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) I was wondering if I could get some help on a surgical nursing assignment. Having difficulties answering some of the questions, as I need real world Australian industry answers, not out of the textbook [which is British]. It would be particularly helpful if you've had experience helping in a Pyometra surgery. Thanks in advance. Edited June 30, 2011 by Ravyk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAX Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 What do you want to know about Pyometra surgery? Lots of vets and vet nurses here to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swizzlestick Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Me too. What would you like to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Ooops forgot about this thread. I'll post the questions here, and you can either PM me the answers or post them here. In relation to a pyometra surgery: What surgery class and risk class is a pyometra surgery? Are they always emergency cases? Detail all surgical instruments that will be prepared or used. Include any specialised instruments that will be used for this surgery. [just a list of names is fine, I can fill in the details] What [premedication] drugs are used? What [anaesthesia] drugs are used? What type of fluids are used – name and classification? What is the length of hospital stay for this procedure? What anaesthetic circuit is being used and why? What is a vet nurse's role within this procedure? I also need a brief description of the actual procedure. I may or may not have more lurking in the depths of my assignment pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Will PM you when I get home. Those questions are pretty broad through. Not only will they vary between clinics, but also between each vet in each clinic. Are you working in a clinic at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Not working in a clinic at the moment [i don't think the Tafe clinic counts! ], but we were asked to talk to a VN working in industry. I know the questions are broad, so maybe just what your clinic does should be enough for the assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Done and PM'd. Hope it's what you needed. :D PS. So glad my huge PM didn't go "poof" half way through, I wasn't looking forward to starting over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
