This article describes a perioperative nursing care experience for a 36-year-old male with ruptured disc who had lumbar discectomy. The first author is a nurse anesthetist who took care of the patient from September 12 to 15, 2016. Gordon's 11 functional health patterns were applied to assess the patient's health problems. Data were collected by using observations, interviews, patient's documentation and physical assessment. Consequently, 'acute pain', 'anxiety', 'deficient knowledge' and 'risk for perioperative-positioning injury' were identified as the patient's nursing problems. The first author used multimedia audio and video to teach the patient before surgery, including pre-operative preparation, introducing general anesthesia, surgery procedures, pain management, self-care tips, and how to keep appropriate posture after surgery to reduce the anxiety of general anesthesia and uncertainty perceptions from surgery. After the surgery had done, in order to improve the patient's self-care ability and prevent recurrence of the disease to achieve health status, the first author took care the patient with his primary nurse, not only provided medications and non-pharmacological nursing interventions, but also applied massaging ear acupuncture point and video communication with the patient's daughter to draw attention from pain, and taught the patient how to strengthen the back and abdominal muscles. The patient underwent general anesthesia during surgery, giving complete compensatory care and providing functional prone position to avoid neuromuscular injury. In order to prevent facial pressure injury, the author also used normal saline bag to fill 850 c.c. water to become a water pillow. It is hoped that the caring experience will provide a reference for the similar case in the future. |
