Respiratory depression

Respiratory depression is a complication of epidural anesthesia and should be closely monitored in laboring clients. A failed block, accidental intrathecal block, and a postdural headache are all side effects of a spinal epidural block

<h3>What is Epidural anesthesia ?</h3>

Epidural anesthesia is often used during labor and delivery, and surgery in the pelvis and legs. Epidural and spinal anesthesia are often used when:

  • The procedure or labor is too painful without any pain medicine. The procedure is in the belly, legs, or feet

  • If you choose to have an epidural, a physician anesthesiologist will insert a needle and a tiny tube, called a catheter, in the lower part of your back.

In the initial postoperative phase, the client would be most worried about the results of the surgery, thus the nurse should anticipate this.

A prostatectomy is a surgical treatment used to remove the prostate whole or partially. Treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer may involve this procedure.

Making a surgical incision and removing the prostate gland is a standard surgical procedure for prostatectomy (or part of it). The retropubic or suprapubic incision (lower abdomen), or a perineum incision, can be used to achieve this (through the skin between the scrotum and the rectum).

Urologists' most popular surgical method is radical prostatectomy (doctors who specialize in diseases and surgery of the urinary tract). The doctor will also remove the lymph nodes surrounding the prostate gland if there is cause to assume the cancer has spread to those tissues. If cancer is discovered in the lymph nodes, it has spread outside of the prostate gland. In that instance, surgery might not be recommended since the cancer won't be sufficiently treated. Additional therapies could be done in this case.
