A unique survival manual for those new to the Operating Room.

This one-of-a-kind resource answers all the questions that newbie clinicians, nurses, and allied health workers have about the Operating Room but are afraid to ask.  It is a complete and candid explanation of the sights, sounds, technologies, personalities, and culture that you will experience when you enter that complex, stress-inducing world.  With coverage ranging from "Who Are These People?" to "Equipment from A to Z".  Introduction to the Operating Room delivers the practical, real-world guidance newcomers need to ensure patient safety and their own career success.

  • The first book to combine a description of  Operating Room people (and their roles), culture, and rules with a discusion of equipment and technology
  • Logically divided into three sections: Pre-Op, Intra-Op, and Post-Op
  • Includes a valuable appendix, "Quick Guide Answers to the What If's of the OR"
