Sterile field monitored constantly? Define please

Specialties Operating Room

Published

Does anyone have a policy that defines who to monitor constantly a sterile field when a case is delayed? With staffing being so tight how can you balance using staff to monitor a room with the need for them to help in some other duty? Is securing a room with tape an appropriate and acceptable technique that qualifies as monitoring constantly? What are you doing to follow this practice guideline.

Thanks alot. This is what makes me really enjoy chatting with medical people. That is many of them are more than willing to share their exerpeices and explain htings. This is truly amazing to me. I can not describe how much I appreciate all of you.
