SCRUB NURSES IN ACTION
Dressing for ACTION! Appropriate attire for restricted area in preparation for scrubbing
About sterility……. • Unless you are scrubbed, gowned and gloved, do not enter the ‘sterile zone’. • For example, do not walk between two sterile areas (such as between the scrub nurse’s trolley and the draped patient), and do not touch the drapes. If you accidentally breach the sterile field, it is essential that you admit your mistake. • If your gloved finger accidentally touches something unsterile when you are scrubbed, you must immediately stop using that hand in the sterile field (unless removing the hand will cause a problem), and request a new glove from the scrub nurse, as soon as the opportunity arises. No-one should think badly of you for doing this; on the contrary, they will probably be pleased with your honesty and respect for the sterile field.
About sterility…….contd. • The degree to which a surgeon will adhere meticulously to sterility will vary according to the operation. • Clearly, meticulous asepsis is much more important when implanting a new cardiac valve, than when draining a perianal abscess
When to scrub • The scrub nurse normally scrubs well before the surgeon, to allow time to set up the sterile instruments.

Method for Open Gloving ……..
Where to put your hands  Any area lower than the level of the operating table is usually considered suspect, even if it is covered by sterile drapes.  Firstly, you should keep your hands above this area  Rest the hands together against the chest, as though praying but with fingers interlaced
How to keep sterile? Where to rest your hands once scrubbed. A rectangle Bounded by the mid-sternum, umbilicus and anterior axillary line

Editor's Notes

  1. Is someone is anxious, it may alter their anesthesia.
  2. Even turn lights down & be quiet during induction (person going under). Make sure everything is available (assist during intubation) Position: know patient history… if they have heart problems, need to make sure patient is positioned safely. Very easy to dislocate joints or break bones while someone is “under”. Every needle & sponge & supply must be counted before surgery is over!
  3. Must be an RN
  4. Robotic or Robot-assisted surgery integrates advanced computer technology with the experience of the skilled surgeons. This technology provides the surgeon with a 10x magnified, high-definition, 3D-image of the body's intricate anatomy. The surgeon uses controls in the console to manipulate special surgical instruments that are smaller, as well as more flexible and maneuverable than the human hand. The robot replicates the surgeon's hand movements, while minimizing hand tremors. The surgeon thus can operate with enhanced precision, dexterity and control even during the most complex procedures.
