This is the first workshop in the South dedicated to nurses in the field of surgical anesthesia and resuscitation, attracting more than 200 delegates.

At the workshop, Associate Professor, Dr. Lam Viet Trung, Deputy Director of Cho Ray Hospital, said that in 2023, the hospital received more than 1.5 million outpatient visits, treated more than 135,000 inpatients, and performed surgery on more than 42,000 patients. Of which, nearly 30,000 surgeries were classified as special and type 1. These figures show that the success of the treatment process has a significant contribution from surgery.

Associate Professor, Doctor, Doctor Lam Viet Trung, Deputy Director of Cho Ray Hospital, spoke at the conference.

The Deputy Director of Cho Ray Hospital affirmed that operating room nurses are the core team that grasps the process, plans, and operation of equipment and instruments, ensuring safety and efficiency throughout the surgical process for patients. This is even more important when Cho Ray Hospital is implementing the ERAS program (Early Recovery After Surgery).

Meanwhile, according to nurse CK1 Nguyen Thi Kim Hiep, member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Nursing Association, Head Nurse of the Department of Surgery, Anesthesia and Resuscitation (Cho Ray Hospital), the role of operating room nurses is highly appreciated by the surgical industry, contributing to the success of the surgery. However, this role has not been fully recognized and evaluated.

The program provides an in-depth perspective from practical applications, an opportunity for the operating room nursing team to share experiences, improve expertise, accompany the development of surgery, and create motivation to fulfill the responsibility of patient care. The workshop affirms the important role of operating room nursing and initiates future forums in this field.
