Hello all.. I have been checking the standards but cant seem to find anything specific, are there any scope restrictions for RPNs/LPNs assisting with intubation at your hospital? There is always an RN in the room if things were to go sideways.

Hello! In need of information! Do your flash sterilizers (IUSS) run on a gravity or vacuum cycle? Cannot find much information that points to the correct cycle for OR use. Any help would be appreciated!

This is what I've been looking for as well but cannot find anything to show it will have any impact on surgical site infections.

As a brand new educator, I have been tasked with changing our practice of flipping sterile supplies to opening for the scrub nurses to remove them. Most of the staff are absolutely not on board citing a lack of time (they are not wrong), our efficiency is pushed to the limits. My question is do your ORs still flip sterile supplies? have you been through this process change? any advice at all would be amazing!
