Safe patient handling is crucial for perioperative nurses as it protects both themselves and their patients. According to the CDC, manual patient handling is the leading cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among healthcare workers. The updated AORN Guideline for Safe Patient Handling and Movement offers evidence-based practices to minimize these risks by promoting the use of ergonomic tools and proper lifting techniques, ultimately creating a safer environment for both nurses and patients.
