  • Collaborate with the surgical team to manage any intraoperative complications or concerns that arise.
  • Postoperative Care :

  • Monitor patients closely in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) or orthopedic recovery area, assessing vital signs, pain levels, and overall recovery.

  • Assist with the management of surgical wounds, including dressing changes, cleaning, and monitoring for infection.
  • Educate patients on postoperative care instructions, including movement restrictions, medication management, and signs of complications.
  • Provide mobility support, including assistance with walking, transfers, and the use of assistive devices (e.g., crutches, walkers).
  • Coordinate with physical therapy to ensure the patient begins rehabilitation as appropriate after surgery.
  • Pain Management :

  • Assess patients’ pain levels using appropriate pain scales and develop individualized pain management plans.
  • Administer prescribed pain medications and monitor for effectiveness, adjusting the plan as needed.
  • Employ non-pharmacological interventions to manage pain, such as positioning, ice therapy, or relaxation techniques.
  • Educate patients on managing pain at home, including proper use of medications and any lifestyle modifications.
  • Patient Education :

  • Provide education to patients and their families regarding orthopedic conditions, surgical procedures, recovery expectations, and rehabilitation plans.
  • Educate patients on joint protection techniques, proper body mechanics, and weight-bearing precautions following surgery.
  • Offer resources for community support groups, physical therapy services, and at-home rehabilitation options.
  • Discuss strategies for preventing further injuries or complications, including lifestyle changes and follow-up care.
  • Rehabilitation and Mobility Support :

  • Work with physical therapists to implement and monitor rehabilitation plans aimed at improving mobility, strength, and function.
  • Assist patients in performing prescribed exercises and encourage active participation in the rehabilitation process.
  • Monitor progress and report any concerns regarding the patient's recovery or mobility to the healthcare team.
  • Ensure that assistive devices, such as braces, crutches, or wheelchairs, are properly fitted and used by the patient.
  • Coordination and Collaboration :

  • Communicate with family members and caregivers to ensure they are informed and involved in the patient’s care and recovery process.

  • Ensure all documentation complies with hospital policies, regulatory standards, and patient confidentiality guidelines (e.g., HIPAA).
  • Monitor and record any adverse reactions, complications, or unexpected events during the patient’s recovery and report to the healthcare team as needed.
  • Emergency Response :

  • Respond promptly to orthopedic emergencies, such as fractures, dislocations, or complications from surgery (e.g., blood clots, infections).
  • Provide immediate care in the event of a medical emergency, including stabilizing the patient, administering emergency medications, and notifying the physician.
  • Collaborate with the healthcare team to manage acute situations and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
