Lesson 3. Safety In the Operating Room

About This Course

A patient scheduled for surgery will have his operation performed by specially trained personnel working in a highly specialized area of the hospital. This area — the operating room (OR) suite — has an environment suited to its needs, but one quite different from that in the rest of the hospital. All activities in the operating room suite are centered around the best possible care of the patient.

The purpose of this course is to familiarize you with certain aspects of the operating room environment that will provide you with a basis for understanding your role as an operating room specialist and enable you to enhance the performance of duties assigned to you in the care of the patient.

References to specific military examples and protocols do not detract from the viability of the text. Differences between military and civilian standards should be obvious to the learner.
