" After you have an understanding of
where power and influence exists within
your organization, you have to really
watch and pay attention to the interactions
that happen, " says Wyatt.
In healthcare, many leaders may
have different roles and titles in different
departments, and their influence is
different in each arena. It is important
for managers to know the different roles
and the relationships that accompany
those roles.
" In the end, it is important to not be
afraid of politically powerful people, "
says Wyatt. " You have to get to know
them and understand what is important
to them, and you must be genuine. "

Q: In this changing landscape of
product use, what is your company's
approach to IFU?
Having clear, executable IFU is necessary
for helping to ensure safe patient
care when using any medical device.
Our approach is to design products that
perform optimally and stand the test
of time, which includes the ability to
be cleaned easily and effectively. When
creating the IFU for our laryngoscope
system, we collaborated with sterile processing
professionals about the device
design and cleaning practices. This collaboration
was paramount in making
our products easier to clean and our IFU
easier to follow.
Becoming self-aware is challenging

find the cues around them to tell them
what they are actually like. " We all view
ourselves differently than other people
view us because it is clouded by what
we want to see and what we want to
be, " he says.
If managers function from the basis
that no one is capable of really evaluating
themselves, then they will find other
ways and pay attention to other cues.
Unfortunately, says Wyatt, a lot of the
people managers are surrounded by
aren't good sources because they report
to them and want something from them.
Self-management is also a part of
emotional self-awareness, as are emotional
control and adaptability. " I don't
think we can underscore adaptability
enough, " says Wyatt. When leaders decide
what their leadership style is and
never change or sway from it, they are
telling those around them that " this
is who I am, and everyone around me
should adapt to me, " he says.

leader to say that or believe that or act
like that, " says Wyatt. " Leaders must
adapt to their teams because their
teams are ever-changing. "

Q: What is your perspective on
the link between ease in processing
of laryngoscopes and patient safety?
The link is strong and often overlooked
by manufacturers. In meeting with sterile
processing professionals over the years,
one of the most common complaints I
hear is that new products are complicated
and difficult to clean. HEINE wants
to provide products that help providers
and patients achieve the best outcomes.
In the case of laryngoscopes and handles,
the cleanliness of the product is a
key component in achieving this goal.
Our blades and handles have been
designed with features that ensure simple,
efficient, and effective cleaning to
prevent cross-contamination.

critical instruments used in the OR are
reusable and sterilized effectively every
day. Regarding laryngoscopes, there is a
large amount of misinformation in the
market about cross-contamination that
has unfortunately scared many hospitals.
The reality is that sterile processing
equipment is better than ever, and a
reusable device that is properly designed
can be effectively reprocessed for safe
and reliable use.

Q: What is one piece of advice
you can offer to an OR leader who is
evaluating whether to procure reusable
versus single-use laryngoscopes?
In the current climate of environmental
stewardship, providers should do their
research. For anyone who cares about
quality patient care as well as the health
of the planet, do not hesitate to get
detailed and verifiable responses from
manufacturers regarding waste disposal
and recycling of their products.
