Abstract:
KNOWLEDGE OF FIRE PREVENTION and fire safety is essential for every OR staff member. In the event of a surgical fire, the quick and knowledgeable response of surgical team members will affect their own safety and that of their patients. A NEW FIRE SAFETY PLAN was developed at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, Salisbury Md. To update staff members' knowledge of the facility's fire plan and special instructions for the OR, a comprehensive educational program on fire safety was presented, and an OR fire drill was conducted. THIS ARTICLE describes the facility's quest to improve knowledge of fire safety by providing multiple educational opportunities.
