Time Out
Just an OR nurse typing away while sipping on some coffee.
What is a TIME OUT?
A time out is a brief conversation done immediately before the start of an invasive procedure. Essentially, are we doing the right surgery for the right patient. I suppose before this time out was implemented, we would cut willy-nilly into whatever patient walked into, cutting off wrong limbs and what not. It is the STANDARD for patient safety.
I think time outs can be applied to all aspects of life. A time out from work, a time out from life, a time out can literally be just time OUT. Ha! Cheesy.
Anyways, this blog will contain things I find hilarious (with my sick sense of humour) and on the other spectrum of things, pictures that I find helpful for the O.R.
Hope you enjoy!
