RNFA 1The checklist confirms, at several checkpoints throughout the perioperative process,
that the procedure is correct; the antibiotic was given within 60 minutes before skin
incision; and an anesthesia professional has evaluated the patient for risk, including
evaluation for blood clots and heart disease. 26 All members of the surgical team,
including the RNFA, perioperative nurses, surgeon, and anesthesia professionals
should be in agreement with the key concerns and care of the patient. Using a checklist
in combination with a time out comprises The Joint Commission's Universal Protocol to
promote patient safety in the OR. - ANS-Safe Surgery Checklist developed by the World
Health Organization
national quality partnership of organizations that are interested in improving surgical
care by reducing surgical complications. The SCIP program is sponsored by the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Its other national partners are the
American Hospital Association, the CDC, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, The
Joint Commission, and others. 24 - ANS-The SCIP
1913 from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Committee on Safety to Life.
The Life Safety Code is commonly referred to as "the Code," and it addresses features
necessary to minimize danger to life from the effects of fire, including smoke, heat, and
toxic gases. The Code covers electrical, fuel-gas, mechanical, plumbing, and energy
factors, and encompasses the environment of care. Fire prevention and understanding
of the fire triangle are critical components of fire safety. The fire triangle consists of heat,
fuel, and an oxidizer. Each member of the surgical team controls a part of the triangle:
the surgeon, heat
the nurse, fuels
the anesthesia professional, oxidizers
If oxygen, heat, or fuel is removed, the risk of fire is lessened. 29
In the OR suite, there are combustible materials including drapes, towels, plastics,
sponges, sheets, and paper. High-energy heat ignition devices, such as electrosurgi -

likely to occur in or on the patient. The RNFA's immediate action is to protect the patient
by extinguishing the flame and interrupting the fire triangle. The surgical team should
immediately stop the flow of gases and remove sources of fuel (eg, drapes). A fire
inside the patient, such as may occur within an endotracheal tube, can be lethal to the
patient. - ANS-fire occurs in the OR

compiled a list of 28 serious reportable adverse events, also known as "never events"
because they should be preventable (ie, should not occur). 30 The categories of
