For patients, if they are scheduled to have an operation, the medical team will provide them with a clear set of instructions on how to perform their pre-operative care. This includes things like what type of medication they should stop taking and when to start again after surgery. A patient may also be advised on requirements for intraoperative fluids, surgical dressings and wound care following surgery. Patients may also want something else related to the procedure that could be taken such as biopsy or blood collection supplies. Medical teams are able to give all of this information to patients in an easy-to-understand way so they are not left confused before surgery. This reduces anxiety for the patient and helps them to understand any instructions clearly. Certain questions should also be asked by the medical team prior to operation. For example, if a patient is allergic to latex, will they need special tweezers or gloved hands during surgery? If the patient has high blood pressure, any changes in medication before or after surgery could alter blood pressure readings. These are simple questions that should be asked by each member of the surgical team before surgery begins. Knowing these types of information could potentially affect how well the surgery goes and decrease risks for complications like cardiac arrest. After surgery, certain questions should be asked by medical staff to ensure proper patient care. These include basic things like what was the correct procedure used for the procedure, how well the patient is doing and any complications that arise. A success rate for patients receiving proper care after surgery is around 90% if it is properly monitored by medical staff, but can drop to around 50% if it is not. The procedure of applying a wound dressing after a surgical incision has been made is called a "dress-down" or "dressing down." Dressings are often changed on a regular basis during the healing of a wound to ensure an optimal healing environment and prevent infection. Dressings should also be changed as needed due to swelling or drainage, and after a surgical dressing has been applied. Proper wound care should be provided to maintain the wound and promote healing. A first-degree burn is a first degree burn that does not extend beyond the epidermis. First-degree burns often intensify pain without blistering because they do not damage deeper tissues. The most common causes of first-degree burns include sunburn and contact with an open flame such as the fire coming from the end of a candle, but burns can also result from exposure to chemicals such as strong acid or bases or exposure to extreme cold. A second-degree burn involves the epidermis; however, it can extend beyond the epidermis. Second-degree burns may further damage deeper tissues and may include blistering. The most common causes of second-degree burns include electrical, chemical or thermal injuries. Surgical incisions are wounds resulting from a surgical procedure performed to access the body's interior for diagnosis or treatment of a medical condition. A surgical incision is a cut made in an open area on the body. A wound therapist will often use sterile needles to create a new, or "clean," incision line on an open site on a patient's body where they will then place sterile dressings before suturing the wound closed. eccc085e13
