March 26, 2011 After the morning course we went to the AORN store to purchase some O.R. nursing books and pins. The guy on the counter was kind enough to give us a lunch bag with AORN logo on it. Thought that was a treat. Then we went to the exhibit hall where we left no stone un-turned. I ended up with 4 bags full of surgical “stuff” from the tables that we visited. I was literally limping from the heaviness of the stuff. There was so much to see. From the new innovations in surgical instruments to different operating room tables used to position patients surgically in orthopedic and neuro surgeries. There were new drapes for c-arm procedures from AP especially when doing lateral picture that can be money saving to hospitals. There were markers for instruments that are embedded on the instruments permanently therefore can not be deleted and or removed. Making taping instruments to mark them a thing in the past. There are new marking pens to mark surgical sites that can not be deleted when the skin is prepped for the procedure. A miracle especially for plastic surgery. There were new innovations in lumbar and cervical spine surgeries from instruments to implants. Ethicon of course was there showing off the realize lap band and Medtronic and Zimmer, Stryker and Storz companies to name a few. Of course there were chocolates and cappuccino coffee in the midst of all these. And lunch was 50% sponsored by AORN with the coupon I got when I checked in. It was a lot of walking in the exhibit hall. Some were smart to bring a roller suitcase for all the samples stuff and to wear clogs during this educational but rather interesting ordeal.

March 22, 2011 Got here before 8 am right on time as the parking lot was not crowded and we got to pick the lot nearest to the convention center. After we registered and picked up our bags we proceeded to the AORN lounge for some coffee and strolled right after to the ballroom A where we attended the course on O.R. recommended practices updates. Ballroom A was packed but we managed to find some seats a few minutes later. It was an interesting topic. There were a lot of participants from different nurses from different facilities all over the U.S. that voiced out their own ways of doing stuff in the O.R. something like comparing notes. Over all the topic was very informative and appropriate for everyone involved. The AORN recommended practices are indeed an indespensable guide to every peri-operative nursing practitioner.
