Emerging Technological Innovations in Perioperative Nursing

Abstract

The rapid evolution of technology is reshaping perioperative nursing, transforming care delivery and management in surgical settings. Key innovations, such as electronic health records, artificial intelligence-assisted surgeries, and minimally invasive techniques, have revolutionized OR practices. Beyond the surgical environment, emerging data science methodologies, including large language models and artificial intelligence, are enabling the analysis of large real-world datasets to derive critical insights into patient care. These tools significantly enhance the tracking of nursing-sensitive indicators, such as pain management, fall prevention, and postoperative complications. Furthermore, digital health technologies, including mobile health applications, wearables, telehealth, and remote monitoring, are empowering perioperative teams to engage patients throughout their surgical journey, improving safety, recovery, and management. This article explores the integration of these technologies in perioperative nursing, emphasizing their implications for practice, clinical outcomes, and the need for nurses' technological adaptability to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care.
