quipment booms can serve
many needs in the OR, but
at Saratoga Hospital in
Saratoga Springs, N.Y., their main appeal to surgical
staffers is that they'll make sure a room's video equipment
stays right where it is.
"Booms keep nurses from having to be hunter-gatherers," says
Sharman Lisieski, RN, CNOR, the hospital's OR and PACU director.
"We're not pushing the cart from room to room. Turnover time is a big
piece of the day, and in the time it takes to retrieve and set up the
video equipment, we can already bring the image up in the field."
