Michael Matthews, from Agiliti, joins the First Case Podcast to discuss the relationship between SPDs and ORs and best practices for cleaning and sterilizing surgical instruments.
Richard Gama, from Agiliti, joins the First Case Podcast to discuss how proper medical laser safety creates a unique “synergy between patient safety and employee safety.”
Innovative surgical and OR managers are solving their surgical tech and nursing shortage with a supplemental surgical technician staffing services model.
If you are a clinician or SPD technician, it may surprise you that in the world of highly complex and technologically advanced surgical video cameras, the most common form of damage is acutely low-tech. Cord damage makes up most of the damage to video cameras – and it is almost entirely preventable.
Leak testing is the most efficient and cost-effective method available to detect any dangerous breaches of both the internal and external protective surfaces of the flexible endoscope that could lead to fluid invasion and cross-contamination for patients. Watch the video for an overview of the leak testing process.
The dangers of unintentionally neglecting even one step in the endoscope cleaning process can be detrimental to patient safety. Consistency is key, yet elusive. 8 experts weigh in on the importance and best practices surrounding the proper care of endoscopes in sterile processing departments.
Thanks to the pandemic, burnout within healthcare facilities has never been higher. And it’s not just clinicians who are feeling the pain. But hope is not lost. Read on to see how some healthcare networks are addressing the problem.
The evolution of patient monitoring; the impacts of COVID-10 on monitoring; wireless patient monitoring; securing operating platforms from cyberattacks; and HTM training opportunities. These topics are all covered in this roundtable discussion.
COVID-19 has had a profound impact on O.R. patient volumes, and questions remain on how best to move forward. We compiled 5 strategies healthcare facilities are using to ramp up elective surgical procedures.
