The dreaded Blue wrap tray hole, we've all been stung by it. Then comes the waiting game, how long will it take to turn it over: Is it a full 4 1/2 hour wash/sterilize? Or even better, a 2 hour sterilize? What about flashing it in 20 minutes? (at our hospital this only happens if a patient is in the room and it creates an incident report for which the surgeon has to sign off on). Despite have backup trays, and backup to backup trays, the problem never seems to go away. Meetings with SPD and OR leadership only seem to go so far to resolve the issue. From my perspective, given the high risk arena we work at in the OR, Blue wraps are probably the worst idea for such an important part of the process. Unfortunately, due to costs of metal cans or developing better technology, Blue Wraps will never go away. Two questions: How big of a problem is it in your hospital/ASC? What steps have you taken to reduce or dare I say eliminate the issue? Matt Barber M.D. ???? Ryan “Saw-Bones” Molli, D.O., F.A.A.H.K.S., F.A.A.O.S.

This updated version of the Osteoarthritis of the Knee Clinical Care Standard is a very useful tool for clinicians. I especially like the sections dedicated to communication. The standard is very clear about what we should and shouldn't say to patients: once they've have been told their knees are 'bone on bone', it is difficult to convince them that exercise and weight management will help. Nine out of ten patients can manage their knee osteoarthritis without surgery. I'd love to see a similar clinical standard for Osteoarthritis of the Hip.
