The 2023 update to the AORN Minimally Invasive Surgery Guideline introduced significant changes to enhance patient safety and improve perioperative care. Here are some of the key highlights:
Preoperative Assessment
Enhanced patient assessment: The guideline emphasizes a more comprehensive preoperative assessment to identify potential risks and complications associated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
Fluid deficit thresholds: New recommendations focus on determining patient-specific maximum hysteroscopic fluid deficit thresholds to prevent complications.
Collaboration and Communication
Team-based approach: The updated guideline promotes a collaborative approach among perioperative team members to improve communication and efficiency.
Robotic-assisted procedures: Specific recommendations address communication and workflow processes for robotic-assisted procedures.
Emergency preparedness: The guideline includes guidance on preparing for potential conversions to open procedures and other emergencies.
Safety and Technology
MRI safety: New recommendations focus on MRI safety for patients undergoing MIS procedures.
Flexible endoscopes: Updated recommendations address the sterilization and handling of flexible endoscopes to reduce the risk of infection.
Robotics and technology: The guideline incorporates advancements in robotics and other technologies to optimize patient care and outcomes.
