I’ve been refining my surgical prep routine lately and noticed a big difference in patient stability during procedures. One thing that’s really helped is double-checking all equipment before any anesthetic is administered — it saves time and reduces stress. I’d love to hear what other techniques you all find helpful for ensuring everything runs smoothly, especially during busy days.
I totally get the importance of double-checking equipment — it’s like making sure your coffee’s brewed before you start the day. I once forgot to check the suction until we were in the middle of surgery, and that panic is something I won’t forget! I’ve started keeping a checklist handy for each procedure; it really helps keep my head on straight.
Checking everything before anesthesia is crucial. I once overlooked the oxygen tank, and that added unnecessary stress. I like to do a quick checklist, especially if we’re busy — it really helps maintain focus. @jonesy84, have you tried this method?
