| Re: Time out The timeout is a vocal way to ensure the same basic 5 Rights we've all learned and adhere to. The surgical site is marked by the MD or the OR Nurse. The procedure, site, patient, positioning, and pre-op prep medications (antibiotics or what have you) is verified with the Pt., MD's (surgeon and anesthesiologist), and OR Nurse. I do this in the pre-op holding area. This is all re-verified before incision (or local injection) by the entire OR Staff (anesthesiologist and/or anesthetist, too). I usually do this while the surgeon is gowning. |

Mood:  | Re: Time out Like most Critical Care Units, we do a lot of bedside procedures so, we keep a Time Out sheet in every chart where I work. It's a "check box" type form that has in addition to those items already listed, the correct patient name on the signed and dated consent form. Great topic! R |
