how surgical scrub tech sets up his instruments

this is my way how a surgical scrub tech sets up his surgical instruments. things you will need are sterile tray drape, mayo stand for the instr, instr pack, blue or green towels, gloves, bowl and basin.

instruction 1 through 9

1- open the sterile tray and remember to not contraminate your self, you always want to stay sterile. open the first flap, then open the two side flaps towards you and then remove the last flap and make sure you do not touch the inside of the drape or else you will have to repeat because you made everything contaminated.

2- then open the sterile tray like you did with the drape. open the flaps ect... make sure you will handle with care and dont damage anything... make sure your clothes do not toutch the sterile field... if you do, you will have to tear apart the whole sterile field or go into another job position. jk.

3- open sterile drapes and towels ontop of the sterile field. make sure that your clothes (scrubs) do not touch the field or else you fuck up... be carefull to not contaminate... when your opening anything onto the field, you always open it the same....

4-open sterile gloves onto the field above the gown, make sure to use sterile glove techniqe when your performing. when gowned up. put all your basins, needle holders, sutures, gloves, towels in the right place, the key is to make everything look nice.

5- make sure you dont overcrowd the field, surgical scrub techs should have un open sutures, trays ect on the side. make sure you do the count with your nurse (sharps, raytechs, instr ). thats about its for the whole surgical instrument set up....

the whole set up for the surgical tech scrub is very important. make sure you know what tray you should have before opening or else youll get a ear full from the nurse and youll soon be kick out of the case, room and hospital... lol... make sure you have everything you need for the case, check your case cart... call the central supply if your stuff is there and till them to send it up so you can make sure you have everything... if your opening and your sterile and you need something and its not in the room. youll be known' as the bad tech... so make sure you have your SHIT biatch... make sure you have surgical conscience during the whole set up, and even case... if you dont, youll fuck the patients life up... different special procedures needs special tray's and drapes and such... so make sure you have the right stuff... well thats all i ahve to say for now.. have a good one biatches.... i love surgical scrub techs....
