This book provides the logistics, fundamentals, and nuances for all involved in surgery to optimize performance and results in the operating room. A surgical operation is a detailed coordination of a complex procedure involving the integration of many people, facilities, and supplies. The efficiency and success of an operation foremost depends on the professionalism of its staff. These medical professionals must understand the tasks of the operating room milieu of individuals. The surgeon, surgeon’s assistant, anesthesiologist, scrub nurse, circulating and recovery room nurses all determine an operation’s success and efficiency. Medical professional education too often focuses on senior level preparatory education or capstone projects rather than mastering day to day practical information or techniques. A reflection of this quandary is the establishment of surgical intern “boot camps.” These industry subsidized courses taken after medical school graduation are one- or two-week courses whose curriculum is to train recent medical school graduates how to function as surgeons. Patients deserve the work of professionals in and out of the operating room. Expertise in the Operating Room: Logistics, Fundamentals and Nuances presents a thorough understanding of the coordination of all members of a surgical team as well as the commonly used equipment and peri-procedural equipment necessary, serving all participating professionals including medical, nursing, physician associates, nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetists, other healthcare professional students, as well as surgery and anesthesia resident physicians, operating room staff members, and senior level surgeons.

Brilliant, volatile and invariably male, the surgeon stereotype is a widespread and instantly recognisable part of western culture. Setting out to anatomise this stereotype, Cold, Hard Steel offers an exciting new history of modern and contemporary British surgery. The book draws on archival materials and original interviews with surgeons, analysing them alongside a range of fictional depictions, from the Doctor in the House novels to Mills & Boon romances and the pioneering soap opera Emergency Ward 10. Presenting a unique social, cultural and emotional history, it sheds light on the development and maintenance of the surgical stereotype and explains why it has proved so enduring. At the same time, the book explores the more candid and compassionate image of the surgeon that has begun to emerge in recent years, revealing how a series of high-profile memoirs both challenge the surgical stereotype and simultaneously confirm it.
