Thanks, everyone! I thought that this would be the case. I have some staff on my unit that believe that the OR nurse should be the one to assist with this. Since this does not involve administration of spinal or epidural anesthesia, I thought a floor nurse would be able to handle it. I think that there is just fear of the unknown since we don't do them very often.
Thanks again!

Hello OR nurses,
When a patient is receiving a blood patch, do your anesthesia care providers prefer the assistance of an OR nurse, or is one of the floor staff RN's used?
Just curious...
