Many things done wrong here: 1. The bristle part of the sponge should ONLY be used under the nails. It'll tear up your skin if you use it multiple times a day for multiple surgeries . 2. You're supposed to work from hands to elbows, not going back and forth. Improper scrub technique. 3. You're supposed to open sponge pack, set aside, wash hands and clean under nails with pick, then pick up the sponge, use the bristles under nails, and then scrub from finger tips to forearms to elbows.
All those who are complaining about the water waste will have a heart attack if they go into a opperation theather, you will be supprised with the things we throw away. There is a meathod to the madness
This is the weirdest way to scrub in that I have seen. Why would you use the abrasive side of the brush to scrub your entire hands and arms. It’s not about being abrasive it’s about using the antiseptic solution to your advantage to create surgically clean fingers, hands, and arms. Don’t be too rough on your skin.
Well I mean the kind kind of have to keep the water running because if you don’t have one that you push on the ground to start the water then you’re going to get your hands dirty by touching it
The scrub brush she is using is impregnated with iodine or another surgical antiseptic. In order to achieve a good lather you have to moisten the sponge.
It is a waste of water but a scrub timer is activated when the water is on. The timer stops when the water is off. There has to be a better way. In addition it takes time to get the water up to temperature too.
@@rayortiz8859 Yes. Use chlorhexidine and then olive oil before you put on your STERILE gloves (which protects the patient from the microorganisms from the surgeon and vice versa). For me (proven empirically also) to wash your hands and then add a sterile glove is like clean the clothes before you wash them. I do not know how many endless hours have spent disscusing this with my collegues.
do not wear any jewelry at all times especially in the operating room. No need to clean nails, just keep it cut short. duh. btw you did not show on your video how to properly dry the hands.
@@riom.6091 Do you mean that the SURGEON is mandating accuracy in the behaviour? I claim the opposite - if you want to learn what aseptic behaviour is you should not follow the surgeon. If you want to get proper barrier and contaminatenclosure reqniques you should look for clean room specialists - they use facts and not guessing. Plus - they are not caught in the counteracting doctor paradigm .
