Overview
A perianaesthesia nurse supports a patient immediately prior to, during, and while recovering from, the administration of anaesthesia.
As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will use your advanced knowledge of pharmacological therapies to assess and manage the anaesthetic requirements of your patient during surgery. You will monitor their neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory and haemodynamic states throughout the procedure and provide high-quality post-operative anaesthesia care.
