| Summary |
This book provides the logistics, fundamentals, and nuances for all involved in surgery to optimize performance and results in the operating room. A surgical operation is a detailed coordination of a complex procedure involving the integration of many people, facilities, and supplies. The efficiency and success of an operation foremost depends on the professionalism of its staff. These medical professionals must understand the tasks of the operating room milieu of individuals. The surgeon, surgeons assistant, anesthesiologist, scrub nurse, circulating and recovery room nurses all determine an operations success and efficiency. Medical professional education too often focuses on senior level preparatory education or capstone projects rather than mastering day to day practical information or techniques. A reflection of this quandary is the establishment of surgical intern boot camps. These industry subsidized courses taken after medical school graduation are one- or two-week courses whose curriculum is to train recent medical school graduates how to function as surgeons. Patients deserve the work of professionals in and out of the operating room. Expertise in the Operating Room: Logistics, Fundamentals and Nuances presents a thorough understanding of the coordination of all members of a surgical team as well as the commonly used equipment and peri-procedural equipment necessary, serving all participating professionals including medical, nursing, physician associates, nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetists, other healthcare professional students, as well as surgery and anesthesia resident physicians, operating room staff members, and senior level surgeons |
