There are many specialists working at the department of surgery – surgeons, anaesthesiologists, experts in resuscitation, traumatologists, nurses. Orderlies keep the unit clean. The nurse has many duties at the department – she assists the doctors and takes care of the patients. In the morning she registers the patients’ temperature, pulse, blood pressure and respiration. She takes care of the post-operative patients and observes their condition. Post-operative wounds are to be cleansed with special solution and to be kept dry. If there are post-operative reactions or swelling or the patient suffers from pain the nurse administers prescribed medicines. If the wound has healed she may take out stitches in the dressing room.

If there are planned operations the nurse gets the patient fit for the operation. It is very important that she should have a good bedside manner. She is to give him a cleansing enema and give prescribed premedication. Before the operation she takes the patient on a trolley to the operating room.

There is an operating table, a shadowless lamp, a drum, an anaesthetic apparatus, a table for instruments, a basin for used instruments and dressing material. There is also special electric equipment, for example, defibrillator, electric knife, and so on. The surgical nurse places all the necessary things on the instrument table and hands the surgeon any instrument he asks. She holds the instruments in a way easy for him to take. The nurse is a member of the surgical team and outcome of the operation depends on her work.
