Description:

AORN's classic resource for perioperative practice brings together all of the Association's official positions and recommendations in one unique volume--from professional practice standards to laser safety, from competency statements to aseptic technique, from clinical pathways to patient safety. The 2007 edition features critical updates and new information that will directly impact daily life in the operating room. Changes include updated recommended practices for managing the patient receiving local anesthesia, prevention of transmissible infections in the perioperative practice setting, selection and use of packaging systems for sterilization and use of the pneumatic tourniquet in the perioperative practice setting.
