Young Persons Surgery at St. Peter's Hospital

If you’re coming in for surgery, this video guides you through what to expect from the moment you arrive on the ward to when you wake up in recovery, helping you feel prepared and informed. You’ll see why you may be asked to come in early, what happens when you get to your bed (including admission questions and routine checks like blood pressure, pulse and oxygen levels), and why things like nail varnish or acrylic nails can sometimes interfere with monitoring. The video explains how you’ll meet your surgeon to confirm the plan and consent, and how your anaesthetist will talk you through the safest anaesthetic option for you. It also covers the two common ways a general anaesthetic may be started, either through a cannula (a small tube placed into a vein, with numbing cream available if needed) or by breathing anaesthetic gases through a mask, with the cannula placed once you’re asleep. You’ll also learn what happens when you’re called to theatre, what you may need to remove or change (such as jewellery or glasses), the monitoring equipment used in the anaesthetic room, and what recovery is like before you return to the ward. Finally, it outlines what typically needs to happen before you can go home, including being able to eat, drink and use the toilet comfortably, with your nurse advising how long you’ll need to stay. This video is general guidance to help you feel prepared. Always follow the instructions given by your hospital team, as your plan may be different.
