Surgery Prep: Scrubbing In

Prepping for surgery is an important task for veterinary professionals. Whether scrubbing into the surgery to perform the surgery, assist, or prepping the patient for the surgery, it is important to ensure that this is done with the proper technique. Dr. Herold walks through the proper technique for a surgical scrub, gowning, and sterile closed gloving technique. This is a great review for staff members who infrequently scrub in for surgical procedures.

Shoutout to all Surgical Technologists!!! Great field...couldn't be done without us. :)

Excellent! very clearly explained.  Thank you Dr.!My only uneducated concern was the opening of the gloves packet once gowned up.  The handling of the packet with "sterile gown" could likely be an issue.  My understanding was before you do the final 3 x 6 step scrubbing of hands and gown up, you just did 6 steps hand wash and then open up the outer packaging of both the gown (and place it on the table) and the glove packet touching only the outside and leave it near the gown (but not touching)?But of course few years have passed since this content was created,  so it could be a recent development.

You're not supposed to run your hand under the water a second time going backwards

I’m being taught 30 strokes for fingernails, 10 strokes for each plane of the fingers and palm and dorsal portion of hand 😒🤨 plus does it really matter what hand is washed first?

[CookieCrumblesify]

This is how I normally wash my hands...OCD

[raulvsandiego]

Sorry you forgot to finish tieying your gown.. Will it matter if you scrub your hand one at a time?

[heprynnrobertson]

What can you use to scrub with if your allergic to Iodine ??

[cellogirlrw]

I like to "talk with my hands" and touch things. Can I interlock my hands after I dry my hands so I'm not tempted to touch anything until I gown and glove?

Coming from an 18 year old who collects sterile gloves and my three main sterile glove size are 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 the foreign lady looks cute

[ithepreacher]

Does placing the scrub brush on the sink basin fashion the scrub brush counterproductive?

[mshuggabug]

She should have explained the importance of double gloving and she should have demonstrated turning the gown after donning it.

[adiabozman]

I really don't see how the finger tips are cleanest bc they are a pretty dirty part of your body! The dirt under your nails, the things you touch everyday, and handling other patients all with your fingers and hands!
