You failed to mention what FONA meant a single time 😉
excellent, Laura.
While definitely not a massive study with massive numbers, we have noticed a trend in our shop…. PLEASE PLEASE stop teaching people to flip the scalpel and use the handle to widen the incision, we have had blood borne pathogen exposures (i.e. employee injuries) when people were inadvertently cut by the blade sticking up in the air. These are always high pressure events and everyone wants to help, It’s kind of like a bar fight, if a knife pulled and pointed up someone is going to get cut!!!
Such an excellent point Anthony, totally agree- wielding a sharp instrument around during an ‘all hands everywhere’ event is a recipe for badness. Finger not handle dilate for sure.
