I assess the needs of my patient based on

~Procedure

~Condition of patient (according to physical assessment and MR.)

PLAN:

~Plan and coordinate with the surgeon, anesthesia, scrub tech, radiology, ancillary personnel (such as EEG monitors, device representatives, physician assistants).

IMPLEMENTATION:

~ Procure positioning devices, proper OR table (in proper orientation), precise instrumentation, medications, supplies, & surgeon preferences.

~ Assist anesthesia during induction/regional block

~Continually document pertinent information in EMR

~Observe and maintain sterile technique during set up and perform counts with scrub tech.

~ Provide the needs of scrub team during procedure, update family, observe for breaks in sterile technique

~Dispense dressings and assist in application and transport the patient to PACU.

Turnover is a fact of life in OR and there is a consciousness of the needs of the next patient. I communicate with my nurse manager or coordinator if there are items that will be needed and alert them to the fact that we are closing.
