Download or read book Echoes from the Operating Room written by Carl R. Boyd and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day in every operating room, the same names are spoken over and over again. These names are the names of the great surgical innovators and teachers of the past. Surgeons call out for Kocher clamps and Deaver retractors. They perform Billroth gastric resections and Bassini hernia repairs. Those names have echoed from the sterile environments of operating rooms for over a hundred years. In Echoes from the Operating Room, Dr. Boyd tells the stories of the principal events and great men of surgery and science and their accomplishments in a concise and compelling style. From the sad story of the men who discovered anesthesia to the romantic reason rubber gloves were first worn by surgeons, the historical highlights that form the basis of modern surgery are brought to life. Every historical vignette concludes with a famous aphorism. Surgeons, nurses, medical students, and surgeons in training will find these stories essential to their heritage, and the public will be drawn in to that sacred and serious place where the stories unfold.

Download or read book Expertise in the Operating Room written by Michael Yaremchuk and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, surgeon’s assistant, anesthesiologist, scrub nurse, circulating and recovery room nurses all determine an operation’s 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.
