We piloted a 60‑second pre‑induction pause in July with a laminated three‑item prompt (airway plan, antibiotic timing, PONV risk) and saw compliance jump from 68% to 92% in three weeks. For those early in CRNA training, what wording or cues made this feel natural while still catching latent threats like wrong‑dose antibiotics or missing allergy bands?
Saw the same uptick in “remote opportunities” — I grabbed a relief telemed shift last week by filtering LinkedIn to Past 24 hours and setting a “telemedicine veterinarian” alert (apply fast or it’s gone, ). Small caveat: check VCPR rules before you commit; AVMA’s summary is solid: https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/animal-health-and-welfare/telehealth-telemedicine. Anyone using Zoom vs clinic portals for triage, @Morgan?
Made it feel natural by scripting a quick call-and-response: “Before drugs — airway plan A/B, allergy band on, antibiotics given and dose verified, PONV ordered?” I point to the allergy band and the abx bag/syringe so someone has to say “seen/verified,” and if we’re slammed I trim it to 30 seconds without losing the abx timing check. On high-bleed cases I swap PONV for hemodynamic risk, but keep the laminated three as the default.
Small hack that made it natural for me: I park the prop cap over the IV flush as a stop sign and don’t remove it until we do a quick read‑back of antibiotic drug/dose/time with the circulator — caught a cefazolin dosing slip twice. @johnson_luke91, on big‑bleed cases I swap PONV for MAP targets in that pause too; you doing the same?
