1Royal Navy, London, UK.
Abstract:
Delivering holistic health care is an essential, effective practice in an emergency perioperative team. Holistic care along with situational awareness and effective communication that incorporates standardised procedures can lead to optimal outcomes and the best chance of a positive surgical experience for the patient. This article will analyse a case study focusing on a 67-year-old male booked for a right below-knee amputation. The Operating Department Practitioner and surgical team's practice and adaptations to be holistic in nature will be analysed in this case study to support the patient through the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases of his surgical procedure. Full consent for publication has been obtained by patient X for this case study.
