I've been offered a job and I will be Circulating the Pain room most of the time. I am looking for tips and any insight that might help me perform well. A few years ago I circulated the Pain Room and I felt in over my head, just barely able to keep things straight. Why would I go back, you may wonder? As I understand it, I won't be performing conscious sedation. A CRNA will be providing that service, so that takes a load off. Room turn over will be up to the Rad tech, anesthesia tech, & CST, so my focus will be interviewing the patient r/t allergies, laterality and pain level, informed consent, then transporting to procedure room, getting them positioned for the procedure, facilitating the time out, documenting (paper charting, it's been a while/accustomed to EHR), making sure providers get additional items they may need, helping transfer/transport the patient, handoff to recovery...go to pre-op and get the next patient. Dropping one patient off and getting the next one has been described as "turn & burn" I want to learn the meds. If you know what they are please share. If " turn & burn" is your expertise please share your thought process/ any helpful tips / resources / reference materials, etc. I am delighted to be learning from my peers. Thank you !
