This comprehensive short course is designed to equip Enrolled Nurses (ENs) with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to support anaesthetic procedures and provide safe, effective care in the post-anaesthetic recovery room (PACU). The course blends theoretical instruction with hands-on clinical experience, enabling learners to confidently assist in the perioperative environment.
Participants will explore key topics such as anaesthetic pharmacology, airway management, patient monitoring, pain and nausea control, emergency response, and infection prevention. Emphasis is placed on the enrolled nurse’s role in supporting the anaesthetic team, ensuring patient safety, and delivering compassionate care during the critical pre-, intra-, and post-operative phases.
