The advent of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surgery has resulted in numerous advances in minimally invasive procedures. This progress has also revealed serious environmental hazards for the patient and perioperative team. At one facility, implementation of an MRI/OR intervention suite has enhanced surgical care and outcomes. Achieving the benefits of intraoperative MRI can occur with a multidisciplinary, interdepartmental approach to the design and layout of the hybrid environment and through implementation of education and safety protocols, including patient screening and prep for scanning. Personnel, including perioperative nurses, must receive expert hands‐on training to successfully mitigate risk and provide care in the hybrid OR setting.
