Refresh your surgical staff

CoolSource™ Cooling System

The solution to keep clinicians cool and comfortable in the OR.

The Joint Commission and AORN standards mandate room temperatures stay up, but that doesn’t have to bring team morale down.

Not anymore.

There’s a new way to improve clinician satisfaction and reduce burnout – a solution that can help eliminate the distraction of heat stress and give your team more freedom to do what they do best. When the surgical staff is comfortable and happy, the entire mood in the OR can shift, likely resulting in reduced tension and a higher performing, happier team.You’ve heard the complaints. Now you can bring them a solution.

You can’t lower the room temperature, but you can raise the hopes of your surgical staff.

Jill Byrne's profile picture.

Invented by a clinician, for clinicians.

Meet the inventor: Jill Byrne MSN, RN, CNOR is a PhD student at Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University. With several decades of nursing experience in obstetrics and surgery, Byrne is currently working as a trauma surgery team member while completing her degree this year.

In 2010, Byrne decided to advocate not only for patients, but for the staff around her struggling from heat stress. Fashioning a disposable cooling vest for the OR staff members to improve comfort and civility was an innovative approach to address contemporary health care challenges. Byrne observed such dramatic changes in affect and physical well-being of staff members donning the cooling vest, she knew the research was necessary to develop occupational standards addressing heat stress.

Byrne’s occupational heat stress research not only focuses on improving the health and well-being of individuals, but also brings awareness to the professional responsibilities and opportunities in nursing to improve healthcare.
