20 years ago in the AORN Journal - Perioperative Time Capsule

AORN Journal,  May, 2002  

The Journal reports that at the 1982 AORN Congress, delegates decided not to take action on the issue of first assisting, and they approved a bylaws change requiring AORN members in the military to belong to a local chapter. * An article on wound healing in malnourished patients says that lack of protein retards vascularization.

* It is reported that clinical trials of artificial blood, which had been used in 500 patients in Japan, will begin in the United States. * In "Q & A," one reader asks if it is appropriate to use transfer forceps stored in germicidal solution to deliver sterile items to the surgical field. The answer advises that this should not be done.
