CORRESPONDENCE COURSE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL SUBCOURSE MD0933 EDITION 100 SCRUB, GOWN, AND GLOVE PROCEDURES Before you can begin to perform the duties of a scrub technician, you must perform the surgical scrub and don a sterile gown and gloves. At certain points in the procedure of donning a gown, you and the other "sterile" team members should be assisted by the operating room specialist assigned to circulate or the circulating RN. Whenever you are assigned to scrub for more than one case, you must remove your gown and gloves using special techniques devised to keep you from touching the contaminated side of the gown and gloves. Study of material in this text will acquaint you with appropriate techniques and procedures for the performance of these tasks. This text is directed primarily to the operating room specialist assigned to scrub, but it also includes instruction concerning the important tasks to be performed by the specialist assigned as the assistant circulator. Because assignments to scrub or to circulate for surgery are made on a rotating basis, you (the operating room specialist) should study all of the text material carefully. ---------------------- Length: 45 Pages Estimated Hours to Complete: 4 Format: PDF file Size: 0.6 MB ---------------------- This subcourse consists of: Lesson 1.
