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

00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:16.590
all surfaces are damp dusted to remove any dust accumulation.

00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:25.770
Using a preference card or Epic sheet,

00:00:25.909 --> 00:00:29.719
the items needed for the surgical case are picked and placed in the OR.

00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:37.490
Personal protective equipment is put on

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:38.299
including mask,

00:00:38.509 --> 00:00:39.060

and eye protection. (MUSIC)

00:01:10.029 --> 00:01:12.069
Supplies are placed on the OR bed and are

00:01:12.069 --> 00:01:14.339
opened onto the back table using sterile technique,

00:01:14.589 --> 00:01:16.339
careful not to compromise sterility. (MUSIC)

00:02:16.320 --> 00:02:17.710
Using aseptic technique,

00:02:17.869 --> 00:02:20.240
a surgical scrub is performed followed by drying the

00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.720
hands and donning a sterile gown and gloves. (MUSIC)

00:02:52.270 --> 00:02:53.869
A sterile field is then created. (MUSIC)

00:03:31.210 --> 00:03:33.759
Every fluid on the field must be labeled by the tech.

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.440
The circulator will read the name,

00:03:35.649 --> 00:03:36.050
dosage,

00:03:36.130 --> 00:03:37.600
and expiration dates of the tech,

00:03:37.929 --> 00:03:39.770
who will look at the bottle and verify all

00:03:39.770 --> 00:03:41.580

00:03:52.649 --> 00:03:55.279

00:05:01.119 --> 00:05:04.769
the surgical technologist will anticipate the needs of the surgeon and pass all

00:05:04.769 --> 00:05:07.920
instruments and supplies to the surgeon that are needed to complete the case.

00:05:09.140 --> 00:05:10.010
