Hi Jane
Im sure that it is still practiced, but it is certainly not best practice nor does it fit with ANTT guidelines. One of the first steps is to clean the work surface and this couldnt be done if the clinician is using the patient as a trolley. Hope this helps.
Cheers

Sure Fiona,
Using the patients chest/abdo (covered by a blanket) to place equipment on instead of using a trolley. I know this is not best practice and I am trying to get an indication on how common this practice is elsewhere.

Subject: patient vs trolley
Hi,
Im interested to hear what practices are occurring in other organisations in regard to anaesthetists cannulating patients pre op. Ive heard arguments for and against using the patient as the workbench vs using a trolley. The appeal of using the patients is that there is no cross over. I believe this can be achieved positioning a trolley correctly, but would like to hear what other places are doing.
