2. Importance of the prevention of retained foreign bodies, including standardization of count sheets and instrument sets, the correct timing, items to be counted, sequence of counting, and proper number of counts.
3. Hair removal and the prevention of SSI, including methods for removal of hair from the surgical site (list the advantages and the disadvantages of each method), timing of hair removal (e.g., day before, holding area, OR, listing the advantages and disadvantages of each), and appropriate place for hair removal.
4. Patient positions. Assign each student a surgical position; have them list the procedures that may be performed with the patient in that position, the types of accessory devices that will be needed, body structures that will need protection, and the dangers of the position (e.g., respiratory compromise in the Trendelenburg position).
5. Hypothermia and hyperthermia and the relationship to healing, intraoperative thermal regulation devices, mechanisms of heat loss, and the actions designed to prevent heat loss or prevent overheating.
6. Describe and then compare the routine perioperative sequence of surgery from the patient’s point of view and then from the surgical technologist’s point of view in the assistant circulator role and then the scrub role. Emphasize the focus of eager primo in each role.
7. Describe the roles and the responsibilities regarding the hazards of surgery intraoperatively and the possible complications, including incidence and precautions that are taken to prevent each one.
