1. Observed an Unconsented surgery performed

   Foggy14 replied to mochilover's topic in Operating Room

   I would give the surgeon the benefit of a doubt here. Surgical consents always include some kind of wording about "and indicated procedures" for cases like this where they don't always know what they're going to find before they open the patient up. ...

2. Circulator nurse doesn't leave the room ? How would this work?

   This is what we do in my facility and it works great. I like being able to see the patient and assess positioning needs, etc. before setting up the room. After the case the patient is usually transported to PACU by anesthesia and a resident (or the s...

8. SRNA looking for advice

   Foggy14 replied to sweetdreame's topic in Operating Room
