ANESTHESIA
Anesthesia nursing
The tasks of anesthesia nursing include, in particular, preparing for operations and assisting doctors. An anesthesiologist and an anesthesia nurse work together as a team, with the nurse preparing and regularly checking the anesthesia equipment, the monitoring monitors and other monitoring equipment, preparing the anesthetics and other required medication.
The nurse administers the required medication and infusions according to the doctor's instructions and assists with the induction, maintenance and withdrawal of anesthesia.
In addition to the anaesthetist, the anaesthesia nurse is responsible for handing over the patient to the recovery room, which is staffed by anaesthesia personnel at the UMM, for the follow-up of the anaesthesia workstation and the hygienically correct reprocessing of used materials.
OVERALL MANAGEMENT
Stefan Burger
Recovery room
Depending on the type of operation, patients are closely monitored in the recovery room for up to several hours with the help of the monitoring device before being transferred back to the ward. Other activities of the anesthesia nurse at the UMM in collaboration with the anesthesiologist include taking over and caring for severely injured patients in the shock room and performing in-house resuscitations.
An anesthesia workplace with monitoring units, which requires a very high level of professional and social competence in the context of post-operative monitoring. Independent action within the framework of the established medication standards is just as important as very good patient observation in order to be able to react immediately to changes in the patient's condition. At the UMM, we have five recovery rooms of different sizes, which are attached to the various departments.
Field service
Anesthesia workplace outside an operating theater, which requires a high degree of expertise and flexibility. As a team, one specialist and one nurse carry out
- approx. 860 anaesthetics and sedations for diagnostic procedures
- approx. 250 anesthesias for neuroradiological procedures
- approx. 650 short anaesthetics with monitoring during electroconvulsive therapy at the Central Institute for Mental Health
The "field service" is also responsible for in-hospital emergencies, of which there are around 100 to 150 per year. The field service is also responsible for the nursing of patients arriving via the "shock room" and the subsequent diagnostics in accordance with the shock room protocol.
