As a Sterile Processing Tech, I greatly appreciate that last part of the video. Separating the instruments helps out alot!
I am also a SPD tech, now in school for scrub tech and I appreciate that you mentioned SPD techs!
Can you please do a video on study techniques while in the program? Like what worked better for you? How did you learn all the names of the instruments and stuff like that!!! By the way I love your channel so informative!!!! :)
+gabby mary absolutely, and thanks for liking the content!
That be nice
Agree, thank you!
Thank you. I'm currently in an the job scrub tech/ perioperative program. Your tips and teaching are definitely helpful. I'm able to watch, study and re-watch these videos whenever needed or when I'm off work. I'm in the beginning stages. Thank you again.
I'm in Surg Tech school in Oklahoma City, OK and I'm watching this to study! I graduate (after 18 long months) in April '2023 and I have been watching your videos for about a year and a half. Thank you for all your tips and advice! Your videos inspired me to start this program!
Also, THANK YOU for advocating for the SPD (Sterile Processing Dpt), I've worked in this dpt and it's so helpful when sets come back neatly!
For a student aspiring to be operating in OR you are such an inspiration! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I love these videos. I start my program next week, and I feel a lot less clueless because your videos are so informative and you cover so many areas. Thank you very much for your time and effort to create this content!
I just had emergency surgery this morning and from watching your channel, I felt a bit more relieved with what was going on (I’ve had surgeries before but always at the same facility, this was a new facility for me). Literally said “shoutout to the Mayo Stand!” 😂 love this channel, hopefully I can start classes in a few years.
I watch your video and it gaves me hint for our surgical duty next month. Thank you for gaving us information ☺ It helps a lot
Thanks for the Sterile Processing tip. I work as a liaison and PRN OR Tech when short. A good relationship with Sterile Processing and all OR and Perioperative Services Technicians is vital for a productive and efficient team full cycle. We've managed to eliminate IUSS by good communication and anticipating the needs of the OR. A mess slows this cycle and causes availability issues with instruments, so thanks for that mention!
Well done. One thing I always did.... before sending the tray back to Central, if there were PERFORATING towel clips on the tray, I always sent them back hooked together and CLOSED. Those puppies are way sharp and a Central Processing person could easily get stuck!!! Everything else... opened up. Again, well done!!! (I was an OR Nurse for 41 years).
11:48 I'm a Sterile Processsing Tech and a future Surgical Tech student. I like how you separate your dirty instruments. I'd love decon more if I got your case carts, lol. Great videos!
Great video! I am in school right now to become a surgical technologist. We will be starting our clinicals in a few weeks. I find you videos very helpful and informative. As a side note, as I am currently working in sterile processing, not only should the instruments be separated as you did, they should also be pre-soaked in the OR as well as put back on the stringer. That is a really big help.
I just started school! I am so happy I found your videos!! I love them! Thank you for all your work on these videos I love being able to learn and see these things! Thank you for helping teach and inform anyone interested it's so important!! Also thanks for thinking about sterile processing I have worked in CSPD for 7 years and some scrubs are not as thoughtful. 😀
Thanks!
Your videos are so helpful and I’ve learned a lot from you. I watched most of them before I started working in the field and now watched them again. It’s all started to come together and make more sense. While watching this video again, I was wondering if you could do a video about clean and dirty back tables and mayos?
Thank you for the videos! You're a huge help, I watch these literally daily.
Thanks you 😀
hello from the UK. Like the trick with a towel over unused instruments! enjoyed the video as well.
Thank you for looking out for the spt! Keep up the amazing work!
I love you for making all these really helpful videos!! thanks man!!
Your videos aew Awesome!!! Easy to learn the right way to do things in the OR
Thanks sir for your functional grouping instruments lecture in the O.R, systematic applicability of instruments. Very practical usage lecture and effective.
Your videos are awsome, thank you for the helpful tips.
Thanks for this! ima student and this really helps!
Would it be possible for you to make a video on how to set up for a laparoscopic case? Thank you! Your videos are EXTREMELY helpful!
Can you do a video on advice for getting through clinicals? Like how to deal with surgeons, nurse's and techs who aren't as understanding as some. Working through nerves, etc? I'd also like to see a video or two of working with bigger equipment, like a c-arm and how to drape it, how to assemble/disassemble and work with like Ortho saws and drills. My school didn't have any for us to play with so now that I'm in clinicals, I find it very intimidating working with them.
I am a working surgical nurse in Finland and I am fascinated to see how different everything is. For example, no one at my work uses closed glove technique. We all do open glove technique after putting the sterile gown on. I love how you organize the mayo table. My set up is so different, although I group my instruments together, too. :D
Can't speak for any other hospital in Finland, though ;)
+miikaelas interesting to see what other across the world do!
Hey there! Could you tell me what type of program have you studied? and where in Finland? How long it took? And is it possible to study in English? Best regards!
This is Wonderful!!! Thank You!!!
Omg, the gun shots caught me off guard 😆.
Great video! haha the camera magic was funny:)
Very helpful video, thanks
Well explained based from your experience, economy of movement.
Can you do a video of the interview process when you get to that point
Thanks for do amazing job
So I just learned the "peel and pop" method of opening up instruments and I'm not very good at it yet. Could you give us some tips on how to do that?
Thank you for sharing
love this. keep it up.
I don’t know what half of these words mean but I appreciate the insights!
Ty for the video. I learned alot
Thank you so much ☺️
Thanks for your video I'm trying to make the move from processing to surgical Technician...I like Sterile processing but I just want to do more and make more money...also I want to do something a little less demanding on my body even tho I know surgical Technician is a lot also I just think It would be a little less than what I've had to endure in Sterile processing....do you have any input on the move from processing to surgical Technician?
Nice!!
Thank you....
Is a yellow sharps passer not yet a standard? I see that most hospitals where I live need to be in a sharps dish for placing blades at least.
Make video on open heart surgery trolley preparation with instruments
Hi so for school we test being timed and avoiding contamination do you have any tips for that . I have a tendency to get so nervous testing . Thank you !
Tips facing scrub or circulator?
Thanks 🙏
Functional grouping....I’m stealing that term for when I precept my students!
And can you please put enzymatic solution on the instruments thank you
8:44 can I write on the towel what number and length the of blades ?
I can’t remember which video it was, but you named the 4 things to start out every surgery with. Can you send the link or tell me where I can find it? Thank you!
I love this video I plan on going to school for this study this year or next year. What can we study online to help learn tools. Any advice or help is much appreciated.
Quizlet.com(free) is a helpful study tool.
Hola . Estaria muy bueno si los videos fueran traducidos al español saludos desde argetina !!
Very informative!! Do you have a video where you perform the setup??
+Jonathan Ramsay would love to do that actually.
Thanks!!!
Your Great
Sharps basin?
Which Mountain View is your hospital in?
Can you make a video on how to pass instruments to the surgeon
I could do that ^^
Can you do a video on heart set up. I will be training on hearts and wanted more knowledge. Loading a pledget is another area of concern.
That's doable.
👍
Where do you put the tools that been used after the surgeon uses it on patient on the field?
Teresa Rice that depends.. If its dirty on a dirty mayo or dirty table if not then on your mayo or table
@@jhaikzvlog8141 if you put dirty tools on a back table is it not possible to infect other items on the back table or mayo since they are being used in skin ckntact and blood.if patient had an infection .now the new to be used items could be also infected ......right
@@darrenrivchin9401 thats why you use a basin and put all the dirty tools there and dont touch it anymore of you were to touch it have extra clean gloves to change again during on the field
Do you have a channel email where we can ask questions about being a CST or a Facebook page?? Thank your for the videos!
Selena M you can private message me on TH-cam itself. I only have a personal Facebook page, but you are the third person to ask me that, so I think I will have to make a new Facebook account for the channel.
Where r u from brother
What about your basin in the background?
Yeah I didn't really go over those, but if i have a full table I usually have a basin set on a double ring stand with gowns/gloves and all the draping materials.
I just started the surgical tech program a couple weeks ago and I have a question when opening supplies like gowns, packs, lap pads, sponges would you need to be sterile?
You don't need to be sterile to open supplies.
@@SurgicalTechTips
And I never understood this concept.
Is it because they are already clean and you're just flipping them onto the sterile field?
hypothetically speaking, what is the procedure if one of your main tools slip from your hand onto the floor or you accidently bump one of your tools off the mayo table with (let's just say) your elbow. Do you plan for backup tools just in case beforehand? Where would you put the tool/instrument that has fallen to the floor? I got curious when i saw some of your instruments at the edge of the mayo..
Just ask a nurse to get a replacement. We have individual instruments peel-packed in the instrument room for those reasons.
@@SurgicalTechTips is there no way one could get a wipe / tissue / medical towel etc to clean the instrument down? Instead of opening up a fresh sterile package? (I may be partially on the lazy side)
@@chinlesswonderkid There's no acceptable way to wipe an instrument and deem it sterile. Like Shane said, someone runs to get a sterile replacement. There will be thousands of instruments singly wrapped. It usually only takes seconds to run get the replacement.
hey man do you work at mountain view hospital in Las Vegas by chance??
also, what school did you go to and was it a specialized school, i.e. classes that have to do with css, i.e. no composition or creative writing classes like CSN
+Michael Westen I do indeed.
Michael Westen I live in Las Vegas and will be going to CSN for the program. too cool
did they have to re sterilize the equipment that u used in this vid
+TadhgMan7 TM yes.
good point, don't want to get "stuck" with sharps, they also make you a real "prick" too :-))
I have seen the surgical instruments before going to sleep for surgery
Hey, My name is Tiffany and I see you live in Nevada from the hospital name Mountain view, I am currently trying to go to that one school Nevada career Institute and wanted to know if you know any good things coming from that school or if any students can get a job from just an institute?
+Tiffany Pipicelli I graduated from there almost 10 years ago. It's a great school, and it's an accredited program.
That's perfect, I am currently a CSN student but will be leaving to start the program at NCI. In this field, is it necessary to get an associates degree to better my education later for my career?
Can I use your videos for Periop education?
Absolutely.
Just let everyone know where it came from!
Suture boots - How are they used?
+Stephanie Lake when using very fine sutures like a 6-0 or 7-0 prolene a suture boot holder will clamp on to one end of a double armed suture to keep it out of the way while the surgeon sutures their anastomosis.
Thank you! That makes sense. I knew what they looked like but have not yet seen them used.
Hi Sir
Unfortunately we have to restring all our instruments .... sucks... I worked in CSS for 6 years and we always liked it separated but they changed it
Yeah we recently had a JACHO visit and we were told we had to start opening up all of our instruments before we send them to decontam :/
a good class would be suture and when to use each one...itll be a long one lol
I bet your charge nurse had a great time trying to explain to the director why someone opened a whole set up for a TH-cam video. Nice work though!
Nathaniel Nogueras LOL, that woulda been bad. This was actually a canceled case though. Told the front desk to not let anyone break it down so I could use it for the vid! I have everyone in the OR saving supplies that are wasted for me to use too ^^
@@SurgicalTechTips and which instrument set was it for the clitorectomy again?! XD
Functional Grouping
You must open your instruments and spray them with a foam or some sort of approved stuff. If you make a mess of my tray, I will find you. :)
What's your name?
You should be a teacher one day when you older...you would be the best teacher for CST and perioperative training...
Or perhaps you will for the hospital soon enough!
Also, I am a nurse, Zachary is my sons video game name..
Thanks 😀
Thats hilarious lol
that checkmark noise gave me ptsd
Informative, but every time you touch the table.....I cringe a little. Also when you scrub and your hands are pointed downward......scary, scary😝
I cringe every time a case cancels too. Just weird.
All that work for nothing....lol
And what kind of case?
I really enjoy your videos, but it bothers me to see your ring and watch in the video :)
I know ... OR-Nurses are pernickety :)
I suggest u edit the video at 4:09 where you put Mayonaise as a picture (on top left handside), Seemingly here in Ireland there are 26 counties owned by Republic of Ireland (Sadly 6 more counties are in Ulster are owned by Britain)
One of the 26 are based in the west of Ireland, and guess what that county's called? Mayo. Even check this out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Mayo
Alan Doherty well too bad the world doesn’t revolve around you
Hindi bol 🤣🤣😂😂
During clinicals will they teach you everything all over again? Do they expect you to know a lot? I’m so nervous about clinicals 🥹
👍
