"Surgery today is highly technical, sophisticated and exacting, and requires the OR nurse to be highly skilled in her area " says Betty Nichols, OR Department Manager. Surgery, she pointed out, doesn't really begin and end in the room. operating Before surgery, patients may be fearful and distraught and after, they need to know how to participate in their own recovery. The eight registered nurses and seven technicians who work in the operating room at American Fork Hospital are trained to fill the roles of reassuring and educating the patients, as well as perform their duties in OR. Mrs. Nichols said 77 percent of the surgeries done at the American Fork Hospital are done in the unit. Since moving to the new American Fork Hospital and with the addition of many new specialists to the staff, the hospital has seen several dif-ferent types of surgeries added. These include eye surgeries, total joint replacement surgeries, urology procedures, and others in addition to the common surgeries such as gall bladder and appendectomy, surgeries, tonsillectomies, etc., Mrs. Nichols said. "We are able to do the specialized surgery because we have the equipment at the hospital as well as the specialists in these fields," she said. She noted the hospital has a laminar air flow system which makes possible the total sterile conditions needed for total joint replacement surgeries. As to the future, "We are looking at laser surgery," she said. OR Nurses' Day is sponsored annually by AORN, a professional specialty nursing organization with 300,000 members nationwide. if your mortgage outlives you, Mortgage Life insurance can help keep your home in the family.
