Patient care in the operating department (1).
Judging by the positive feedback I have received about this series it is a timely reminder--or introduction--to the perioperative area. It has been suggested that universities and colleges should be made aware of the existence of this series in order that students may benefit prior to the theatre placement. So why don't you recommend it to your tutors, universities and colleges? This article will introduce three aspects of patient care, undertaken in the operating department. These are prevention of errors in surgical procedures, patient positioning and pressure area care.
