About this Lecture
About this Lecture
Three days after his accident, Wayne is prepared for complex orthopaedic surgery. This lecture follows his peri-operative management, focusing on how meticulous pain control and nursing care directly influence healing and functional recovery.
Participants will learn how to design balanced anaesthetic and analgesic protocols, integrate regional and local anaesthesia, and manage breakthrough pain in hospitalised patients. A major focus is placed on post-operative nursing care – including monitoring, mobility, wound care and comfort – and on developing clear, practical discharge and at-home care instructions. The lecture highlights the importance of effective client communication, ensuring owners understand that comfort and pain relief are not optional, but central to successful healing.
