Under the direct supervision of the operating surgeon, an SFA provides continuous skilled assistance, performing a range of established responsibilities to assist the surgeon predominantly in the intraoperative phase of the patient’s journey, but also in the pre- and post-operative phases. The role affords theatre nurses and ODPs the opportunity to expand their clinical responsibilities and provide assistance for patients undergoing surgery by undertaking post-qualifying education. More recently, an understanding of the knowledge and skills of the SFA role has been embedded into the undergraduate curricula for ODPs. Surgical First Assistant: The Essentials of Practice provides a comprehensive and critical examination of the knowledge, skills and behaviours that are required by SFAs to ensure patient safety and quality care. Beginning with a historical overview of the SFA role, it proceeds to outline the legal, ethical and professional aspects of the role which allows the practitioner to critically reflect on SFA practice. It also offers an in-depth analysis of the SFA’s responsibilities as defined by the Perioperative Care Collaborative through each phase of the patient’s perioperative journey from pre-operative assessment to pos\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout this item\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePage count used for pricing: 176 pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA specialist title for study, reference, or professional development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eJulie Quick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eDecember 31, 2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eLanguage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e176\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eISBN-10\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1394210825\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e978-1394210824\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eASIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1394210825\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Julie Quick","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":54459126841627,"sku":"AMZ-1394210825-ORIG","price":1538.2,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Copy","offer_id":54459126874395,"sku":"AMZ-1394210825-COPY","price":1344.6,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1051\/1260\/0859\/files\/1394210825-cover.jpg?v=1793284415","url":"https:\/\/allbookmart.com\/products\/surgical-first-assistant-the-essentials-of-practice","provider":"AllBookMart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
