S2E2 - Preparing the Operating Room
Manage episode 274313399 series 2804755
In this episode, we discuss setting up the operating room for a general anesthetic. The mnemonic SOAP-IM(S) is a helpful checklist for organizing all of the necessary equipment.
1. Suction
- Is the suction equipment (Yankauer/suction system) present and working?
2. Oxygen:
- Check circuit tubing, gas analyzer tubing, filter, face mask
- Check for availability of back-up O2 tank
3. Airway:
- Have a plan for potentially difficult airways (stay tuned for the next episode!)
- Prepare an appropriately sized endotracheal tube (ETT), laryngoscope & oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal airway
- Check ETT cuff for leaks
- Have backup equipment ready
- Know where to access video-laryngoscope
4. Pharmacy:
- Check for commonly used medications and rescue medications
- Check the expiry dates of medications as you draw them up, and label each syringe with the medication and concentration
5. IV: equipment for placing an IV, fluids, IV tubing.
6. Machine: anesthetic machine check.
- Check for leaks
- Ensure circuit can supply positive pressure
7. Monitors: refer to the CAS requirements
- Standard required monitors for every patient:
- Pulse oximeter
- Blood pressure (NIBP)
- 3-lead or 5-lead ECG
- ETCO2 gas analyzer - measure of ventilation
- Other equipment you will commonly use:
- Capnography
- Temp monitor
- Stethoscope
- Peripheral nerve stimulator
8. Special equipment + Seat: any extra case-specific equipment, and chairs for you and your staff!
- Consider special equipment such as blood products as needed
