ur CRNAs
clean anes-
thesia equip-
ment between cases if
they have time, but
the housekeeping
staff isn't always sure
if they were able to
get to it. To let them
know, CRNAs wrap
up cords and neatly
hang them on the
equipment they've
already wiped down.
The simple signal pre-
vents repeat cleanings
and saves time during
room turnovers.
