This report describes the perioperative nursing experience with a 38-year-old woman of twin pregnancy. In the 18th week of her gestation, she was diagnosed with Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) when undergoing fetal endoscopic surgical care. The care period was from September 11th to 20th of 2016. The researcher used Orem's self-care patterns as a theoretical framework for assessing the patient's needs in physical, mental, and social health. During the preoperative period, the patient's biggest health concerns included anxiety, the potential risks for injury and risk of infection during the intraoperative phase, and the pain during the postoperative phase. In this period, nursing care covered empathetic listening, concept teaching, and support for the purpose of promoting case awareness of the fetal endoscopic surgery and surgical environment so as to relieve the patient's anxiety. Moreover, during the operation, half-closed anesthesia caused the patient to lose some self-care ability, she was provided with some compensatory care measures to prevent potentially dangerous surgical situations resulted from the use of surgical lying position, endoscopy, and laser equipment and to provide aseptic surgical environment as well as related measures for avoiding any possible infection. In addition, during the period when the patient's cared for herself for post-surgical recovery, she was provided with support and educational care to reduce wound pain. It is hoped that this medical operation can be facilitated through surgical nursing, and this case study will provide reference for operating room nurses to care for such patients. |
