Perioperative Nursing Care

Perioperative nursing is a nursing specialty that works with patients who are having operative or other invasive procedures. Perioperative nurses work closely with surgeons, anaesthesiologists, nurse anaesthetists, surgical technologists, and nurse practitioners. They perform preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care primarily in the operating theatre.

  • Circulating Nurse: The circulating nurse is a perioperative nurse who assists in managing the nursing care of a patient during surgery.
  • Instrument Nurse: An instrument (scrub) nurse is a perioperative nurse who works directly with the surgeon within the sterile field
  • Perianaesthesia Nursing: The perianaesthesia nurse (recovery nurse) provides intensive nursing care to patients after they wake from anaesthesia
