pumping in the OR
How do you ladies pump at work? Specifically what is your work flow in terms of when/where do you put on your pump, when/where to transfer the milk, and what to do with pump parts and milk if you are stuck in a case? Do you bring the whole set up plus a cooler into the OR?
This is my third time around pumping at work but I've always supervised in the past and used a regular wall pump while my partners covered my rooms for me. Now I work mostly solo cardiac so the cases are long (6-10 hrs) and breaks are hit-or-miss. My last resort is to leave while on pump to pump (heh) but I'd rather not have to do that if I can avoid it. I've tried the willow in the past and the experience was so terrible that I'm completely done with wearables. Now I have a Spectra S1 and pumpables genie advanced, and cups to go with them.
I would appreciate any tips or experience you can share. The more detailed the better! Thanks
