Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging safety considerations

AORN J. 2003 Mar;77(3):590-2. doi: 10.1016/s0001-2092(06)61252-0.

Abstract

Patient safety considerations are a priority for perioperative nurses. In the intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) chamber, additional safety precautions for both patients and staff members must be taken. This article provides a brief overview of the intraoperative MRI environment and details safety considerations for surgical staff members and patients.
