INTRODUCTIONPost anaesthetic care is the most important requirement for assessment of patient andanalysing clinical deterioration in post-operative service users, admitting that service users are athigher risk of complications post anaesthetic, surgeries and operations. This care is beenprovided as patients suffer from various post-operative issues such as nausea, vomiting,weakness, high respiratory rate, sour or dry mouth and many more (Thorne, 2018). Post-operative pain is the major issue faced by patients who underwent general anaesthetic surgery. Inorder to provide better treatment relate to pain nurses are involved in assessing pain accuratelyand timely (Obi, 2018). Various methods such as observers and self-report scales are used bymulti-disciplinary team to measure the intensity of hurtfulness (Chou and et.al., 2016). Formanaging pain medication related to it are also been given by health-care professionals. Nursesare involved in performing professional responsibility that is to give patient safe and securesettings. They should be involved in checking out that no abuse is faced by service users in thehospital setting. If they find out any type of misshapenness going with patients, they mustimmediately inform to higher authorities. Also, nurses are expected to follow path of honesty sothat they can easily identify wants of service user (Nelson and et.al., 2016). Paper is based on Gibbs model of reflection. Report highlights care study of a post-anaesthetic patient following a general anaesthetic and surgery. Assignment discusses impact ofthe anaesthetic and the surgical intervention applying it to specific needs of service users. Also,report discusses about how emotional support enhance outcome of patient. MAIN BODYDescriptionThe stage first of Gibbs reflection model is description stage that imparts nurses withtools and methods to assess patients experiences who has faced post-anaesthetic complications.Patient selected as an interdisciplinary team member to provide care is Mrs Rosy a 75 year oldpatient who has undergone surgery (Using Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle, 2014). It was analysed thatpatient undergone surgery because of falling and has faced chronic accidental injuries. Also, itwas observed that patient has a medical history of suffering from blood pressure and type 2diabetes. She was also a chain smoker and consumes liquor on daily basis. She underwent ageneral anaesthetic surgery (Gordon and et.al., 2016). Acute care was provided to Rosy after1

surgery as general anaesthesia works by hampering the signals of nerve in human brain. She hastwo daughters who lived far away from her and meets her one's in a month. Also, Rosy wassuffering from depression after getting separated from her husband. She was usually quiet andfacing feelings of loneliness, sadness and depression. Anaesthesia was given to patient by using a IV that goes directly into her veins of hand.After imparting service user with general anaesthesia, she was shifted to PACU where acute careand treatment was given to her. In this care unit nurses ensured that patients after surgery all theanaesthetic medicines given to service users are being stopped and pain is been managed. Also,health-care professionals team is being involved in analysing and observing the signs andsymbols of acute changes in service user (Gordon and et.al., 2016). Nurses lays more emphasison elderly aged patients acknowledging that they face more clinical complexities after post-anaesthetic surgery. Health-care professionals are engaged in giving acute treatment as Rosy isdiabetic patient and they are at more risk of having issues like memory loss, heart and lungdisease (Devin and McGirt, 2015). For these nurses are indulged in imparting timely and acutecare to patient so that they can overcome complications. Feelings, values and thoughtsNursing is an emotional job and as a member of inter-professional team I was expected toprovide the best care to patient who has suffered accidental injury and has undergone generalanaesthetic surgery. While giving post-anaesthetic care to Mrs. Rosy in PACU I was quietemotional as patient was going through a lot of sufferance after surgery. Also, I was feeling sadand depressed after seeing the condition of Mrs. Rosy. As I have spent more time towards her, itupsets me more. I was engaged in giving care according to her needs and demands. As an inter-professional team member my only aim was to provide the best treatment to Rosy so that she donot face any post-anaesthetic complexities. While treating service users I was thinking aboutwhat steps I would follow in order to achieve my aims and objectives. My target was to impartpatient with timely care so that she can be discharged early from hospital. I had a positive feelingtowards Rosy that helped me in imparting the treatment that will support patient in improvingthere health outcome. I was able to understood the critical situation and condition faced byservice user that made me sad, anxious and distressed.
