The surgery department is very strict, as you should expect, with any photography. However, this is a picture of the "anesthesia theatre." Yes. This is the first room that the patient will encounter after being in the pre-op area. In this room, the patient will sit on the operating table. Here, they get their IV placed, receive induction agents, and become intubated and central lines inserted. Everything happens here first, and then they are disconnected from this ventilator, and are pushed through the double-green doors, to then be reconnected to a second ventilator in the operating theatre. Once the patient is in there and the surgery begins, this room is then used as the place to drink tea and coffee and chat, all while being able to peer through the blinds and check on the patient and monitors.
This is a "selfie" in the anesthesia theatre.
The airway cart comes with its' own printed algorithm. It's nice to have as a reference, especially during stressful events.
