Presented by Nicola Wilkinson at the 2024 ACVN Nurse Conference (Surgical stream).

It then covers the peri-operative care these patients need: adjusting fluid rates as metabolism slows, recognising fluid overload, managing hypotension, repeat antibiotics and analgesia, the anaesthetic machine, and eye and mouth care. It finishes with recovery, the riskiest period of anaesthesia, including warming, feeding and pain relief.
