Today, I spent time in the theatre following a patient’s journey to the theatre. However, I spent time the anaesthetist first and secondly the Surgeons.

I observed how the anaesthetist ensured the patient received a general anaesthetic safely and remained unconscious and pain-free throughout the operation. In addition, she ensures that the patient’s level and temperature are maintained throughout the process in the operating room. Anaesthetist’s role and how closely they collaborate with the surgeon to ensure patient safety throughout the procedure.

In the operating room, I learned the significance of the checklist we complete on the ward and how the patient’s safety is ensured by the numerous tests performed in the operating room before the patient’s surgery. The operation was fascinating and enhanced my understanding of the human anatomy with regards to bones. The patient’s recuperation was fascinating. particularly the staff’s efforts to maintain privacy and dignity while the patient is unconscious. In addition attempting to talk to her by calling her name. I will consider how to assess a patient’s pain, mainly if they can not communicate effectively
