ADMISSION PROCEDURE OF SURGICAL PATIENT

A typical "admission procedure in the operation theatre for patients" PDF would include steps like:
patient identification verification, pre-operative assessment, informed consent confirmation,
transferring the patient to the operating room, positioning on the operating table, skin preparation,
final check-list review, and handover to the surgical team, all while adhering to strict infection control
protocols; essentially ensuring the patient is fully prepared for surgery in a sterile environment. [1, 2, 3, 4,
5]
