To ensure safe anesthetic care, a number of steps must be completed before the patient is brought into the operating room.

Anesthesia Machine and Equipment:

The anesthesia machine and equipment must be checked and prepared. A link to the anesthetic machine checkout procedure is provided in the reference section, although the detail extends beyond the expectations and objectives of most students. Students find the mnemonic ‘STATICS’ helpful as a quick reminder of the equipment required for safe management of a patient’s airway (see Chapter 6 for further discussion on this topic). The mnemonic is useful in the operating room and can easily be adapted to any site in the hospital (ward, emergency, post anesthetic care unit [PACU] or intensive care unit [ICU]).
