(MUSIC) At the start of every day in the OR,

2
00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:16,590
all surfaces are damp dusted to remove any dust accumulation.

3
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:25,770
Using a preference card or Epic sheet,

4
00:00:25,909 --> 00:00:29,719
the items needed for the surgical case are picked and placed in the OR.

5
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:37,490
Personal protective equipment is put on

6
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:38,299
including mask,

00:01:10,029 --> 00:01:12,069
Supplies are placed on the OR bed and are

10
00:01:12,069 --> 00:01:14,339
opened onto the back table using sterile technique,

11
00:01:14,589 --> 00:01:16,339
careful not to compromise sterility. (MUSIC)

12
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,710
Using aseptic technique,

13
00:02:17,869 --> 00:02:20,240
a surgical scrub is performed followed by drying the

14
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,720
hands and donning a sterile gown and gloves. (MUSIC)

15
00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:53,869
A sterile field is then created. (MUSIC)

16
00:03:31,210 --> 00:03:33,759
Every fluid on the field must be labeled by the tech.

17
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,440
The circulator will read the name,

18
00:03:35,649 --> 00:03:36,050
dosage,

19
00:03:36,130 --> 00:03:37,600
and expiration dates of the tech,

20
00:03:37,929 --> 00:03:39,770
who will look at the bottle and verify all

21
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:41,580
information before it is introduced to the field. (MUSIC)

00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:00,839
During the surgery,

27
00:05:01,119 --> 00:05:04,769
