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.

Every other week I'm republishing one of my most popular or impactful episodes. This week I'm highlighting Episode 336, which is all about local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST). You'll definitely want to give this one a listen.

Local anesthetics are medications that block nerve impulses so that pain signals aren’t transmitted to the brain. The result is that the anesthetized area is numb and pain is controlled. 

Just because local anesthetics are “local” doesn’t mean systemic toxicity can’t occur. LAST occurs when local anesthetics extend into the system at toxic levels. It most typically occurs due to the physician accidentally injecting the medication into the intravascular space. However, it can also be from locally administered overdose, which leads to systemic toxicity. 

Hit play on this episode to dive into local anesthetic systemic toxicity so you can understand which of your patients are at highest risk and what to watch for!
