The Anesthesia Consultant

NOVEMBER 15, 2023

At the 2023 American Society of Anesthesiologists meeting in San Francisco, I walked by a booth advertising High Flow Nasal Oxygen. The product was called Optiflow. I asked the representative to educate me. She began by opening a package containing an Optiflow nasal cannula, and she strapped it around my head and into my nostrils. Within one minute she started a flow of 40 liters per minute of humidified, warmed 100% oxygen into my nose.

Happy Perioperative Nurses Week! I hope that you are having a great week, and that your facility actually remembered to celebrate you this week! I’ve been an OR nurse for 12 years, and I absolutely love working in the OR. Since we’re celebrating this week, here are 12 reasons why I love working in the operating room. Also, I made this list into a reel, so if you’d rather watch it without the commentary, check out Facebook and Instagram !
