For those of you who can bring in your own personal bags into the OR, what do you bring into the OR with you?

My daughters bought me a metal briefcase last year to replace a very old leather one that one daughter called my MRSA briefcase. I have pens, stethoscope, iPhone charger, badges, deodorant , and some papers for current issues with the group in it.

Ewwww, I agree with your daughter. MRSA briefcase!

 

[NoodleIncident]

Pens, multi tool, ACLS/PALS cards, Eschmann stylet, mouthguards, phone charger, stethoscope.

 

[UrbanAchievers]

Laptop, phone charger, pens

Chips, salsa, queso, guac. Then hang the drapes real high.

Do you guys use laptops during some cases? One of the pp attendings I rotated in med school would bring his MacBook during the case

I no longer use a bag, but when I did I kept an iPad and iphone/ipad charger in it. Stethoscope and thyroid shield. Also any hard copies of papers I wanted to read at some point. When it was during ITE season as a resident I kept ACE exam printouts as they were easy to casually take.

Charger, gum, snacks, pals/acls/peds reference cards, pens, radiation glasses, good book for call, couple extra 16g ivs (seem to have a paucity of these in the blue bells), extra phenyl stick for the inevitable time I’m offsite and the blue bell runs out

Personal bags in the OR? Probably for all the ketamine you guys give

I was on a mission trip in Mexico 2 years ago. We had a big despondent 11yo who wouldn’t come back to the OR or let go of his mother (very unusual btw). We didn’t bring any ketamine so I asked one of the Mexican anesthesia residents who was helping our team if he knew where we could get some. He pulled a vial out of his backpack. Problem solved.

phone charger, ipad, notebook, stethoscope, emergency sugammadex (our OR pyxis doesnt stock them), gum, portable sound speaker, pens.

It probably wasn't much different here before the "war" on drugs.

Laptops very common among the academic attendings during my residency. Lots of Macbooks. I myself am a large screen smartphone guy.

Neptune is key to any good OR snack session...
