Advancing OR Safety: Positioning, pressure and perioperative practice

Presented by 

Yasmin Sharifi DNP, RN, CNOR, NEA-BC and Suzy Scott MSN, RN, WOC Nurse

Join us for a fireside chat on advancing operating room safety through practical perioperative strategies that can help protect patients and support OR teams. Perioperative services leader Yasmin Sharifi and perioperative pressure injury prevention expert Suzy Scott will explore common OR safety challenges related to positioning, pressure exposure and workflow reliability. Participants will leave with practical, evidence-informed approaches to creating safer surgical environments that can be implemented within their facility's everyday workflows.

Objectives:

• Describe key OR safety risks associated with intraoperative pressure exposure, patient positioning and tilt procedures.
• Identify practical perioperative considerations that support safer, more reliable patient positioning and handling workflows.
• Discuss how evidence-informed practice and quality improvement approaches can help hardwire OR safety across teams and sites.
