The purpose of this study was to identify those pediatric post-surgical patients in an acute care setting at risk for oxygen saturation less than 90% during transport from the OR to the PACU. A descriptive, correlational design was employed using a convenience sample of 45 male and female pediatric patients between the ages of 0 months and 16 years who underwent elective surgery with general anesthesia lasting longer than 1 hour. Data were collected on each pediatric subject at four points in time (1) in the preoperative holding area (2) in the OR, (3) during transport to the PACU, and (4) on arrival to and during the stay in the PACU. Results showed that more than 50% of the sample (N = 45) desaturated to oxygen levels below 95%. Specifically, 48% desaturated between 90% to 95% and 8% desaturated below 90%. Pediatric patients age 2 years and younger showed the greatest risk for desaturation below 90%. In addition, as transport time increased, the number of subjects with oxygen saturation levels below 95% increased.</p>","PeriodicalId":77223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of post anesthesia nursing","volume":"10 6","pages":"313-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19610826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Advance directives and the Patient Self-Determination Act: what is a nurse to do?","authors":"J Huth","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Since the Patient Self-Determination Act was enacted in 1991, asking patients whether they have advance directives (eg, a Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions) has become part of the admission procedures at health care facilities. However, questions may still remain about what exactly is the role of the health care provider in this part of the admission process. In many health care settings, the nurse has the responsibility to ask the patient about advance directives. If this occurs during preparation for surgery or other medical procedures, it adds responsibility for the nurse in an already hectic time. This article defines advance directives and examines their place in the admission process. The article further addresses to what extent health care providers are responsible for discussing patients' rights and advance directives and suggests methods that may facilitate the nurse's role in this responsibility.</p>","PeriodicalId":77223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of post anesthesia nursing","volume":"10 6","pages":"336-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19610831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
