What the perioperative and OR nursing nurse checks

  • Surgical counts and retained objects
  • Positioning injuries
  • Time-out and site verification
  • PACU monitoring and handoff

What the review examines

  • Surgical counts: when they were done, discrepancies and how they were resolved
  • Use of imaging or radiofrequency detection when counts were off
  • Positioning, padding and duration for nerve and pressure injuries
  • Electrosurgical and fire safety, skin prep and burns
  • Universal protocol: site marking and time-out
  • PACU monitoring and handoff
  • Pre-procedure risk screening: sleep apnea, airway, prior anesthesia problems

Proposals come from license-verified perioperative and OR nursing nurses, with their fee and turnaround.
