Distance learning is an OPERATIONAL BUSINESS all over Russia
One of the main keys to the success of the operational team is its coherence, the ability to work as a whole. Each of the members of the "team" must perform their duties flawlessly, while a special responsibility lies with the operating nurse.
Doctors can't even come to a final conclusion: who is in charge of the operating unit – the surgeon or the operating nurse?
The life and health of a patient on the operating table fully depend on the professionalism of the surgeon, but the help of an operating nurse is indispensable even for the most outstanding doctors. The operating nurse is responsible for a number of areas. She monitors the sterility of equipment, instruments, sutures and dressings, is responsible for the availability of everything necessary for anesthesia and for the operation itself. The operating nurse also has to monitor compliance with the rules of asepsis by all participants in the operation and not allow the slightest violations on the part of, for example, the supervising staff and even in cases where an emergency operation is necessary.
