OR- Time outs

What is your policy on marking of surgical site preop? Is a "time-out" consistently done prior to start of Sx with all staff present (surgeon, Anesthesiologist, OR Nurses, surgical assistant)?

IV sedation

I am looking for some information regarding discharge following I/V sedation, in particular, do you require that the patient (who has received I/V sedation) have a responsible adult stay with them for 24 hours, or just an escort home?
