hold guidewire in place and allow easy removal

37
Q

What is the primary purpose of draping the surgical patient?

A

Isolate the surgical site from the other areas of the patient’s body and nonsterile areas of the O.R. table in order to contribute to reducing
the risk of surgical site infection (SSI)

38
Q

What is heparin?

A

It is a drug that works as an anticoagulant

39
Q
