Great video! I haven’t scrubbed in 10 years and am finally stepping back into the game. If you have any other recommendations for your videos, let me know. Wish you were our teacher. 👍👍👍

This video is amazing. The only lil thing I would say is it would help to have the why on some items. For example why put the tail sponges in the front vs the back, or why leave gaps or items in place.

Hi! In the UK, in London where I worked aa a Scrub Nurse for 22yrs, we don't count sponges or swabs as we call them on top of each other. We separate them on the table as we count. We count together with the circ. Nurse 1, 2, 3 synchronized. The Circ. Nurae ticks the boxes on the instrument liat as we count.bWe also don't use towels as such. Everything is disposable. Even the bowl pack comes set altogether. Just open like a gown with everything inside. We don't lay out the instruments such. We leave them on the sterile inside tray. Sutures are opened individually aa needed.

We tag on the strings of the sponges as we count to make sure they are not loose. We also open them in case something is inside the folded sponges.

We call it diathermy instead of bovie.
Just so interesting to see and learn differences. Not saying any system is wrong. Just sharing. Thank you for your teaching.

Nice video. I'm an educator in a large hospital and I'm looking for a video on how to properly cover a back table using 3/4 drapes, as well as remove them when it's time for the procedure to start to implement this recommendation from AST and AORN. Have you made such a video yet? Thank you for your time.

How often do you get contaminated instruments with biogunk on them? I'm just curious.

[holyeti]

Do you not count the screws on your retractors ? Oh and stylets, where would we be without them ? 😲😷

[sarahkin]

Could you check the instruments for bioburden while it is on the mayo stand?

good sterilized OR gowns, towels, gloves & instrument standard methods of use # i have used mosquito clamp, medium size clamp, curved head clamps & different size knife while performing procedures on my patients but since it was poly clinic there was no specific OR # 👍🇵🇰
