Management reserves the right to revise the job description or require that other tasks be performed when the circumstances of the job change (for example, emergencies, staff changes, workload, or technical development). JOB ACCOUNTABILITIES “The safety and welfare of the patient should be given primary consideration in the selection of a first assistant in surgery. In the absence of a qualified physician, the registered nurse who possesses appropriate knowledge and technical skills is the best qualified non-physician to serve as the first assistant.†( American College of Surgeons, 1980 ) The RNFA practices under the direct supervision of the surgeon during the surgical intervention. The RNFA must perform only as first assistant and not concurrently as scrub nurse. Only in extreme emergencies should an RNFA be expected to assist on procedures that present an unusual hazard to life. The RNFA must adhere to the policies of Sutter Health and must remain within the scope of practice as stated by the Nurse Practice Act of the State of California. The surgery committee shall conduct an initial and thereafter annual evaluations of the competence of those RNs authorized to perform the RNFA standardized procedures. The interdisciplinary practice committee shall maintain a written record of those persons authorized to perform the standardized procedures. This record shall include a current listing of all required certifications, evaluations, and continuing education hours for each individual. It is not expected that the RNFA will do any patient record keeping. The RNFA may perform the following technical functions: Assist with the positioning, prepping and draping of the patient or perform these independently, if so directed by the surgeon Provide retraction by: • Closely observing the operative field at all times. • Demonstrating stamina for sustained retraction. • Retaining manually controlled retractors in the position set by the surgeon with regard to surrounding tissue. • Managing all instruments in the operative field to prevent obstruction of the surgeon’s view. • Anticipating retraction needs with knowledge of the surgeon’s preferences and anatomical structures. Provide homeostasis by: • Applying electrocautery tip to clamps or vessels in a safe and knowledgeable manner as directed by the surgeon. • Sponging and utilizing pressure as necessary. • Utilizing suction techniques. • Applying clamps on superficial vessels and the tying or electrocoagulation of them as directed by the surgeon. Perform knot tying by: •Having knowledge of the basic techniques. • Tying knots firmly to avoid slipping. • Avoid undue friction to prevent fraying of suture. • Carrying knot down to the tissue with the tip of the index finger and laying the strands flat. • Approximating tissue rather than pulling tightly to prevent tissue necrosis. Provide closure of layers by: • Correctly approximating the layers under the direction of the surgeon. • Demonstrating a knowledge of different types of closure. •Correctly approximating skin edges when utilizing skin staples. Assist surgeon at the completion of the surgical procedure by: • Affixing and stabilizing all drains. •Cleaning the wound and applying the dressing. • Assisting with applying casts or plaster splints. Cases utilizing first assistants: The RNFA may be requested to assist on any surgical cases where the use of an assistant surgeon is optional or where the role of the assistant is predictably limited. The RNFA shall not be used in any case where the involved procedure mandates that an assistant surgeon assume a major surgical role or be available to step in and take over the case on the event of unexpected disability of the primary surgeon. EDUCATION Equivalent experience will be accepted in lieu of the required degree or diploma.
