Hello. I am wondering how many of you are still pouring formulin into the specimen cups or are you using prefilled specimen cups for your polyps? Thanks!

Are you not able to draw from an A-line? Or do they not have an a-line....

What are some issues you experience in the ICU that occur frequently (for example forgetting to get the hourly urine) that you wish could be easier/simplified?

What are some issues you come across that occur frequently in your practice? For example, suction canister fills too quickly, polyp gets lost, CO2 canister is hard to change etc...

What are problems you frequently come across in the OR that is annoying? (excluding interpersonal problems). For example, retained needle or sponge, irrigation on the floor etc....

Thanks!

Hello! I have been a nurse for so long that I can't even remember what is unusual for a non medical person coming into the operating room to observe. We will have a non medical engineer coming to observe workflows and I need to prepare this person for the operating room. I will discuss about the sterile fields and staying out of the way but what else should I be educating this person about? Thanks for any advice!

It is disheartening to see so much waste in the hospitals. I am becoming very interested in sustainability in the hospital and was wondering if anyone can share their hospitals sustainability practices regarding recycling and decreasing single use plastic items.

What constitutes a large volume of irrigation for a procedure? What would you say the average amount of irrigation is in a standard procedure? At what point would you want to have a large fluid suction device to collect irrigation(assuming you only have 1 device to share for many ORs) instead of using canisters? What surgeries do you know use large volumes of irrigation? Thanks!
