Successful hybrid OR implementation requires strategic vision and cohesive multidisciplinary teams including key OR nurses.
A primer on the planning, design, and implementation of a hybrid OR program, emphasizing the role of the OR nurse.
May inform hybrid OR planning by OR nurses; leaves open need for outcome validation before adoption.
A hybrid OR incorporates fixed imaging in a sterile OR setting. Because demand for procedures that can be performed in a hybrid OR is increasing, many institutions are considering or are in the process of building a hybrid OR. Currently, no standards exist relative to a hybrid OR's location, design, procedure volumes, patient types, staffing requirements, skill sets, or workflow. The unique technology and equipment inherent to a hybrid OR affects the OR workflow. The ability to successfully plan, design, and implement a hybrid OR program requires strategic vision and the cohesive efforts of a multidisciplinary team, of which the OR nurse is a key member.
