Assignment:

Fire safety in the operating room is a crucial aspect that all members of a surgical team are responsible for. Understanding how a fire can start is the key to understanding proactive measures necessary to prevent such an incident.

In this discussion board post a scenario that could lead to an intraoperative fire. Please be incredibly detailed as you "set the scene" researching the materials commonly used in an O.R will help you list these details.

Describe the patient's position, the procedure being done, the type of surgical drapes used, and what kind of anesthesia was utilized.
Was there additional equipment being used? If so, list that as well, and provide details. If there was cautery being used, be specific on what type and what anatomy was being cauterized.
List what the ignition source was
List what the fuel source was
Include your understanding of the fire triangle as you describe the scenario.

Ask your reader an insightful surgical conscience-based question about this incident. What could have been done to prevent this fire in the first place? Request details from your reader about prevention and their impressions and research on what could be done differently, and what was the role the Surgical technologist could play in prevention.

I have to have references in APA format.
