40 years ago in the AORN Journal

AORN Journal, August, 2004

The "Editorial" says OR nursing is at a critical point in its existence, and if nurses and nursing organizations do not have acceptable answers for how they will meet the needs of surgical suites, they may lose their part in decision making. * An article on the use of electrosurgical equipment says electrosurgery has been used for the past 30 to 35 years in almost every type of surgery.

* "News in ORbit" reports that a new liquid spray dressing has been developed in Moscow. It protects wounds and sutures for seven days and is removed with a spray solvent. * An author details the use of sonic energy for cleaning and decontaminating surgical instruments.
