I am a nurse and work in the OR. The patient wears their gown into the room, slides over to the OR table, we put warm blankets on them and the safety strap. We stand by the patient and help anesthesia as they put you to sleep. Once you are asleep we put the blanket on your lower half, bring your gown up to cover your chest area and anesthesia puts a blanket warmer over this area. We clip hair if needed and prep the abdomen. The people in the room at this time is anesthesia, the circulater, the scrub and the doctors assistant. We really do talk about our weekends, or singing along to the music we play. You have no worries.
