Nursing intervention microlaryngeal surgery?

Answer:
Pre-operatively, the patient needs to be prepared for surgery like any other: IV placement, make sure false teeth and jewelry are out, etc.

Intra-opertiavely, nurses may assist by handing the surgeon instruments or circulating in the OR. There isn't room for anybody near the surgical filed other than the surgeon, although some microscopes have ateaching head so the scrub person can see what is going on.

Post-operatively, administration of pain medications, monitor for breathing difficulties, prepare patient for discharge. (Patient WILL have a sore throat - they hang their head by a laryngoscope from a Mayo stand)

Hope that helps.
