À propos de cet audio

 Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) is one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures, but don’t let the word routine fool you. Because this surgery directly involves the airway and carries a real risk of post-op hemorrhage, nurses must remain vigilant throughout recovery and discharge education. In this episode, I’m breaking down pediatric tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy using the Straight A Nursing LATTE framework. You’ll learn: Which assessment is the top priority after T&A How to recognize early signs of post-op bleeding What’s normal vs concerning during the healing process Key discharge teaching points every caregiver must understand And more! This episode is a must-listen for nursing students, new grads, and bedside nurses caring for pediatric surgical patients. ___________________ Full Transcript - Read the article and view references Study Sesh - Change the way you study with this private podcast that includes dynamic audio formats including podquizzes, case studies and drills that help you review and test your recall of important nursing concepts on-the-go.
