Abstract

Every surgeon must be capable of resuscitating a patient who develops shock on the operating room table. Necessary skills include the ability to place an intravenous line, to provide external cardiac massage and to properly intubate and ventilate a patient. The operating area must thus provide all the equipment required for these essential tasks. In particular, a laryngoscope, endotracheal tubes, tracheotomy set, suction equipment, oxygen, and some form of ventilator (e.g. Ambu-Bag) are needed. In addition, the standard emergency medications (epinephrine, atropine, corticosteroids for injection, intravenous fluids) must be readily available. For many patients it is wise to establish an intravenous access prior to the operation.
