Re: Correction OR PREP

[Cath Murphy]

My apologies. The link for the US-based organisation below is incorrect. It is the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) and their website is http://www.aorn.org

The Australian equivalent is ACORN.

Accessing AORNs Guidelines requires purchase as do ACORNs Standards.

Note, that AORN do often publish a summary of their individual guidelines.

Sorry for any confusion.

Regards

Dear Shiella

There are a thorough and comprehensive set of surgery-specific Standards published by the Australian College of Perioperative Nurses. These are available at https://www.acorn.org.au/standards/

The USA-based ACON also have specific guidelines for the perioperative setting. They can be accessed at http://www.acon.org.au

Kind regards

Dear All:

Anyone got a guidelines for OR preparation.

For major surgery it is normal that the patient will take all clothes and put on top the drape but for minor surgery is there any guidelines in OR that all clothes be removed as well. Are we violating patient rights? Example, the surgery is only on the shoulder, should all clothes be removed? If the surgery is at the lower part of the body, for female she should remove her bra as well? Our OR team said it is infection control. But can we provide the patient some clothes to wear instead of removing all?

I hope you can help me out.

Thanks,
