I'm so excited because I'm going into nursing school very soon to become an OR nurse, but I already know things like this tray like the back of my hand because I've been working as a sterile processing tech. for a year already! :)
Hi I've watch alot of your videos and I find it very informative.. I am a sterile processing technician with a little over a year work experience here in the US as sterile processing but I have some years of experience overseas in abu dhabi to be exact. I just want to ask what can you advise to someone like me who's looking for a job as sterile processing here in the US? I'm cbspd and crcst certified please let me know what to expect when joining a new facility or hospital. i just lose my recent job because of pandemic, our facility is getting less patient and they have to let go some of the people and I'm one of them. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give for me to find a new work place. Thank you
Very interesting as always, I'm glad there are people who share the passion for their work; you remind me of that "bakery work" guy, another man passionate about his trade. Medicine is not my field and I know very little about it, but thanks to you I have a window on the inner workings of something I completely ignored the existence of before, thanks again for posting videos and keep it up!
Hey sorry I've been MIA started my second semester in surgical tech school excited and nervous at the same time 😂 ...I was wondering if you could do a video with instrumentation with a close up of the tips and serrations of the basic instruments used in the OR
Thanks for the videos. You should make a playlist of the videos with instrument descriptions. Sterile Processors studying for "CIS" (Certified Instrument Specialist) will watch them. 👋
I just found your channel and i've been binge watching all your videos!! Great information. Im about to start school at a local technical college to become a surgical tech.
Revisiting these videos has been really helpful! I interviewed for an OR nurse position Monday and I want to go in knowing as much as possible if I get the position.
Please be kind to the Sterile Processing Staff. We work hard to ensure the instruments used in surgery are clean and Sterile. It's not a process that should be rushed
Thanks for your videos, they are very informative! Could you please do more instrument trays? Like a laminectomy or CV tray? I use your videos in y SPD class. They are very helpful!
Hey chief always been a pleasure watching your videos , so much that they even got introduced into our surgery tech class. I'm nearing my last term in the program, and your videos have definitely helped my rotation. A great video would be to show your setup, and show it as universal as you possibly can so people that give you a break can utilize your setup, and how to touch things only once, some days I have issues with doing that
Hey, I'm the UK equivalent of a Surgical Tech - ODP (Operating Department Practitioner) - and I've found your videos super useful; you have definitely explained things better than a lot of my lecturers could! :)
That’s a lot of instruments! I’ve recently reduced all our trays down to the bare minimum to try and reduce the amount of work for the staff in sterile services as new guidelines state every instrument must be hand washed before going in the washer / autoclave... we’ve now got a basic set and lots of stuff in supplementary - double wrapped.
Marisol Figueroa you make sure everything you’re likely to need is available before you start the case... the WHO team brief is a good chance to discuss special requirements with the surgical tram before the patient is anaesthetised
My daughter has ADD, and is an outstanding OR tech. She can do it all-trauma, all specialties, etc. I encourage you to take pre-test or apply. I think you can do it. RN-OR, as is spouse
Hello Shane Friedman, I am addicted to your videos. I’m not involved in the medical field. I will be having Aortobifemoral Bypass Surgery and was looking for videos about that surgery and also came across your videos. If I was not 61 years old, I would find a school to become a Surgical Technologist. You have taught me so much. You have encouraged me to watch videos of Aortobifemoral Bypass Surgery. It was a bit strange at first, but I did get used to it. I have also watched other operations and a few autopsies videos too. Which were also strange at first, but I was able to watch them and not be bothered. Your videos have caused me to search for other medical information to know. I believe everyone should keep learning new things and to not ever stop learning. I have watched numerous videos you have made and watched some over and over. To me you’re not just helping surgical techs and students, but anyone interested in understanding what goes on in the Operating room. Respectfully I thank you Shane for sharing your knowledge and experiences. GOD be with you always.
I know most all of the surgical instruments since I'm coming to the end of my CRCST program, six more weeks to complete my clinical can't wait to finish.
Also, you have to wear a mask while breathing and sharing your wealth of knowledge. Also, you have a blood clot by your nose. Just a guess from reading "Highlights".
I study at MedCert surgical technologist program online. I miss someone teach me in person. I work at Mercy Hospital. What should I do to have clinical experience?
"Tonsil clamps" I don't like the implications of that name lol. Were those used for tonsillectomies in the past instead of the wires or whatever? Imagine having those attacking your throat while you're awake! Assuming I'm hearing the name correctly in the first place, and that tonsil doesn't have a more general anatomical meaning that I'm unaware of.
! I am a nurse in a surgical center here in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). I really want to know a surgical center there in the USA. How can I do it? Thank you!
Andrew Keller I’m almost done with school but as part of our curriculum before we went out into our clinical rotations we got a list of different instruments and the categories they fall under. Like clamping, cutting, retracing, so on. There were over 100 instruments but we made flash cards of each instrument’s nickname and most common use with a picture of the instrument. It helped a lot by the time I got into my clinicals. Good luck!
I’m also a ST student on my second sem. I had to close my eyes and feel the differences between each instrument cause everything looked all the same to me.. it worked for me and learning names just repetition.
I am a new OR circulator. I watched pretty much every single video. They are so helpful to me. Thank you very much! i am looking forward more videoes come out.
Hello there, I am sorry if you have said your name or not but I don't remember. I finish my school in 2104 and I have never worked with instrumentation because I had work with intervention radiologist and we work only with wire and balloons. I just got a new job at Emory Hospital here in Atlanta and I hate make mistakes specially if the patient start to bleed, I have past a feel wrong instruments to the surgeon. What should I do to NOT get so nervous before the case start? by the way your videos are very helpful to me. Thanks man
Um so yea....I'm going to confess.....I am not nor have I ever been a surgical tech....but I binge watch every video this guy has. I absolutely love it, I don't know why I find it so interesting but I can't get enough. I'm weird
The fact that a bladder retractor is a specific surgical device that exists just to hold the human bladder out of the way, and is mass produced for medical purpose; saving lives, etc. makes me *so* proud to be human 🤣
Hey Shane, do you or anyone in the comments know of any CST or FA books about their crazy stories and experiences? I’ve read a lot from the surgeons point of view but never from the CST’s side haha. Love the vids, keep em coming!!
I have an exam next week for Major set and I was really nerves because I have no idea what im going into, but this video helped me a lot. One thing you did not show at the first part and you did not count babcock, tinsel clamp, forester sponge, long right angle, and kocher. one more thing I would like to see in your videos the spelling because its really important too. thank you
Do you think you could do a video on FAs and what states they are and aren’t recognized in? And maybe go into the billing/insurance aspect of it? I could use some clarification! Thank you!
If you don’t have a video already, how is vacation per year for you and requesting time/ days off ? How many days are u allowed to request off per month or however it works and could u ever call out ?
Okay here's a quick question. How does the surgical team deal with the ER and their need for surgical instruments but at the same time they do not need an entire tray?
Hey Shane, can you do a video on intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring or bring on those who do the career? I've just heard of it and there isn't a wealth of information on it. Please and thank you!
You should add how you set up your back table and mayo when doing a large case w/multiple trays(w/a big sorry to sterile processing😂) to your list! Im a student and Ive been stacking them, but Im not too comfortable with how packed my back table gets. Have you come across situations like this on large cases?
I'm so excited because I'm going into nursing school very soon to become an OR nurse, but I already know things like this tray like the back of my hand because I've been working as a sterile processing tech. for a year already! :)
yay!!! good for you!!! (sterile processing tech here too!)

I’d love to see you do a vid on Craniotomy and Neuro spine instruments .
Thank you for clarifying the assembly of the Balfour retractor! Extremely helpful.
I’m gonna walk into my surgery rotations like an old timer with these videos 💪

I just started this week! How are you liking it?
Can you make a video reacting to greys anatomy surgeries and other medical shows with surgical scenes?
Thanks for the videos. You should make a playlist of the videos with instrument descriptions. Sterile Processors studying for "CIS" (Certified Instrument Specialist) will watch them. 👋

@@LuxLife24 Thank you soo much!
Your videos are so helpful for me as a student. I start clinicals in 4 months!
Another excellent video. Really helpful for an aspiring Sterile Processing Tech. :D

Rebel Red
How about if the hospital didn't buy a certain product they need ?
Btw, who's in charge of buying?
This would be great for new sterile processing techs as well!! Maybe consider putting that in the hashtags too!! Thank you for doing this!
Do you have to be the smartest person in the world to become a surgical tech Because I have ADHD
My daughter has ADD, and is an outstanding OR tech. She can do it all-trauma, all specialties, etc. I encourage you to take pre-test or apply. I think you can do it. RN-OR, as is spouse
I was naming the instruments when you first picked them up & I STILL remembered all of them:) I only got one wrong. Excellent video

Can u be part time in this field ? Or is this job destined to take all your time ?
Yes you can. I believe so. I've seen postings for part-time positions :)
Can be part time. I think the majority are full time positions because of the long hours and demand
great, but it would be better if you had written the spellings as you name them.
Do you mind asking how do you make sa surgical tech an hour?
Nice video. It helps me alot. Thnks and keep it up.😊

Always good to see your videos in my feed, Shane. Keep up the good work.
Hi..thanks for this vlog...love it
I am speechless how to thank u
I believe it will be better to put their spellings on the screen as well
First
I am currently an ST student, what is the best way to memorize the instrumentation and it’s uses?
Andrew Keller I’m almost done with school but as part of our curriculum before we went out into our clinical rotations we got a list of different instruments and the categories they fall under. Like clamping, cutting, retracing, so on. There were over 100 instruments but we made flash cards of each instrument’s nickname and most common use with a picture of the instrument.

I am a new OR circulator. I watched pretty much every single video. They are so helpful to me. Thank you very much! i am looking forward more videoes come out.
How do you know what to put out
Abs-- ABDZS-- This is, bad self-- Koine Egyptian.
Hello there, I am sorry if you have said your name or not but I don't remember.

this camera has a mind of its own lol
Um so yea....I'm going to confess.....I am not nor have I ever been a surgical tech....but I binge watch every video this guy has. I absolutely love it, I don't know why I find it so interesting but I can't get enough.
I'm weird
Thank you for your content! It's been extremely helpful, I start school in June and can't be more excited about it
The fact that a bladder retractor is a specific surgical device that exists just to hold the human bladder out of the way, and is mass produced for medical purpose; saving lives, etc. makes me *so* proud to be human 🤣
Hey Shane, do you or anyone in the comments know of any CST or FA books about their crazy stories and experiences? I’ve read a lot from the surgeons point of view but never from the CST’s side haha.
Love the vids, keep em coming!!
Good information...I am in school now and this is very helpful information 👍🏾
I'm a trainee ODP in England can I work in the USA when qualified?
So nice surgical instrument
MS 3 reviewing for my surgery rotation very helpful thank you.
I have an exam next week for Major set and I was really nerves because I have no idea what im going into, but this video helped me a lot.

The Kelley retractor and the deaver .. what do you retract with those?!?! They look like giant penguin feet or like a giants prosthetic leg 0_0
Currently start surgical technologist classes in January. Trying to get a head start on learning my instruments.
What is the difference between a kelly and a richardson for test purposes???
From the Philippines, Thank youuu
If you don’t have a video already, how is vacation per year for you and requesting time/ days off ? How many days are u allowed to request off per month or however it works and could u ever call out ?
Okay here's a quick question.
How does the surgical team deal with the ER and their need for surgical instruments but at the same time they do not need an entire tray?
Hey Shane, can you do a video on intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring
or bring on those who do the career? I've just heard of it and there isn't a wealth of information on it. Please and thank you!
Amazing - not first but still
Why am I watching this, I'm a 12-year-old girl that's not going to be a doctor
You should add how you set up your back table and mayo when doing a large case w/multiple trays(w/a big sorry to sterile processing😂) to your list! Im a student and Ive been stacking them, but Im not too comfortable with how packed my back table gets. Have you come across situations like this on large cases?
Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us, i have benefited a lot.
Instruments called differently like long kellys- mayo clamp?
can you do a video on cardiothoracic instruments/ trays, these are so helpful !
hi there, if you were doing a lap cholie and they had to open, what instruments equipment would be needed to open?
Any recommendations on a good book to learn different instruments and their usage?
What set would you pull for a trauma case coming out of the ER for a urgent surgery?
Excellent! Many thanks- I needed the review. Have a great day :)
I start my Surg Tech school schooling soon and I hope to be as badass as this guy.
question: is this content helpful for an aspiring circulating nurse?
What kind of camera setup did you use it seems like it was on a gimbal that would track your hands.
Am a big fan bro i learned a lot watching your videos
