Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nickel Allergy Considerations
Q: Question, what intraoperative consideration should the perioperative team address for a patient with a nickel allergy, particularly when implanted metal devices will be used?
Verify the allergy with the patient, communicate it to the surgical team, assess whether planned implants contain nickel, and consider alternative materials when appropriate.
Preventing Heel Pressure Injury During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Procedures
Q: Question. How can perioperative team members prevent pressure injuries to the heels during coronary artery bypass graft procedures when both lower extremities are prepped into the sterile field while also maintaining surgical access for obtaining a saphenous vein?
Coordinate positioning with the surgeon before draping to ensure pressure injury prevention measures do not impede access, use prophylactic dressings and heel offloading to redistribute pressure, and continuously reassess positioning intraoperatively to preserve sterility and surgical access.
Nonsterile Examination Gloves Tearing During Use
Q: Our hospital system has switched to a new vendor for our non-sterile examination gloves, and I've noticed that these gloves seem to tear more easily during use than our previous gloves.
Staff should report glove failures per facility policy, remove defective items from service, and initiate a product evaluation that considers task requirements, glove size, and protective levels to select appropriate gloves while addressing trends in glove failures.
