ethicsofmusicals asked:

sterile field!

talesfromtreatment answered:

1- The sterile field is lava! No touchy!

2- Practice standing with your arms bent, close to your body and your hands, palms facing you, held loosely near your chest. This is how you will *also* stand when scrubbed in but not touching anything yet. I do this in many places unless I actively think not to, at this point.

3- Always have your clipboard with your monitoring sheet in one hand and a pen in your other hand. If you must put them down, they go on the *floor* so you don’t put them on the sterile field.

4- Don’t let this become you:

Arms are a privilege, not a right near the sterile field.

5- Stand at the end of the animals that is farthest away from the actual surgery site. Unless you’re monitoring anesthesia, in which case wedge yourself in the corner with the anesthetic machine, the fluid pump, and your pulse-ox/capnograph/temp/bp/ecg, where you can still see and check things. Keeping your arms untangled from the tubing and monitoring equipment will take up most of your movement ability.

6- Hands clasped behind your back unless you are writing/checking MMs, etc.

7- The sterile field is part of the surgeon-dragon’s hoard. Do not enrage the beast.

lmao or advice
