Different ROLES in the OR

[@automaticactor]

The insight that Shane provides is invaluable, hopefully he knows how we ST students surely appreciate him but if he doesn't let me remind him....We love you man!

[@SurgicalTechTips]

Geez man, bringing a tear to my eye. Appreciate it brotha.

[@brandont3953]

Yes sir no doubt.

[@matthewworrall6582]

DAILY OBSERVER Uhhh, that’d be hard to near impossible to singlehandedly do in a professional environment, maybe if he got special permission but he’d still have to work and there’d have to be consent from the patient

[@sleeptight7500]

Good Video,i did Housekeeping in The O.R.im going to school for Surgical Tech.

[@melissabovee6618]

Love that you included the Housekeeper! They are apart of the team : ) Well done with going over everyones role and how it's important to work together and communicate. Communication is the Key! Good Job!

[@Syxxclips]

You are the only one on KZbin that’s doing what you do. Great job man you deserve a lot more recognition and is students definitely appreciate your videos 💯

[@Tbehartoo]

I really appreciate you showing that this is not just the surgeon and the RNs involved in a surgery, but that there are SO MANY people involved in getting patients through a surgery quickly and safely. I didn't know that this many roles were involved, but I am so grateful for everyone who has a hand in this. Thank you for sharing this video and thanks to everyone who participated. I'm glad your facility is willing to let you do this.

[@dnice23x]

I loved this video. You didn’t just talk to the surgeons and nurses but also included the sterile techs and housekeeping roles in the OR. Cool video

[@debrahape9706]

So nice to see Sterile Supply inclded! I was a CST, but worked in Sterile Supply as an Instrument Technician. eSP is a crucial part that is overlooked t so many.

[@jamesboone3678]

I work in orchestras all over California and I teach violin, viola, and cello. I love my job. I think every single role is important especially in a orchestra and a hospital no matter how small the pay or how little the job.

[@dpc517]

Wow. Just absolutely wow! I had no idea what was involved in surgery and the hospital setting being in a field nowhere connected to healthcare. I’m not sure how I landed on your channel but I’m grateful I did. About 2 years ago I had gall bladder surgery and the caring of the staff absolutely blew me away. It takes a special person for sure. Watching you and the genuine love you have for your job is amazing. You truly are a hero and part of a team that is saving lives every day. You bring a light to your profession that people need to see. God bless you and the work you do.

[@codingwithkate3792]

That surgeon was awesome!!

[@SurgicalTechTips]

Yeah, he's a fun guy to work with. Fun fact his favorite pandora station to listen to during surgery is 2Pac lol

[@codingwithkate3792]

[@maloriewhitworth8102]

You have given me the confidence to pursue this career. I’m one week from my first clinical Case I’m nervous but your videos have been the biggest help! Thank you!!!

[@Ashley-og9ti]

Hey are you a CST now ..how was clinicals? Hope all is well 💛

[@niksistalking]

Hi! I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel :”) I am a newly hired OR nurse, less than a year actually, and I have very few knowledge about the OR except for the ones that was taught to us in school. It is nice to have a brush up on what are the diff. roles and responsibilities of each of the staff in the OR setting :”) You just gained a new subscriber and I cant wait to watch all your videos ^^ Have a nice day! ^^

[@LyanneSolano]

Love this video, I'm in nursing school and I finally know what type of nurse I want to be, an OR nurse. thanks man

[@biancaflores6686]

My favorites were the surgeon and Linda. The surgeon had a dry sense of humor, and Linda looked so happy to be in the video.

[@lauraeager373]

I loved the surgeon’s sense of humor! 😂

[@morganschiller2288]

This was really cool. After all of the work I have had done. I never really understood just how many people are involved outside the pre, ok, and pac units. Very cool! I am thankful for all they do!

[@paigerideout6996]

This is my favorite of all your videos thus far. I felt like I was there on the team!

[@thereyeses7098]

Thank you so much for this! I am so impressed how you were able to get everyone and give a snippet of their roles! It gave me a good picture how everything goes in the OR! Thank you!!!!

[@trudyamy408]

Great job on this and your other videos! I’m a potential candidate for a liver transplant and I watched this to learn more about the process which I found interesting as hell. Very comforting to see all the concern and care that goes into preparing the OR for a safe and successful outcome. Thanks much!

[@jordanquintana7964]

X-Ray techs! Thanks for mentioning us. I know we are sorta apart of the OR and sort of not lol

[@madisonm9896]

I worked in the OR for two years as a transporter/surgical support technician, and I just switched to a Nurse Extern/Medical Surgical Technician job to get some more hands on experience while in nursing school. I miss the OR every day! Hopefully I'll make it back there as an RN or CRNA in my future (-: Thank you for your hard work as a ST!!

[@ciaragibson1091]

cool video! Its cool to see everyone else's perspective on their roles in the OR!

[@belmum1689]

19 yrs ago when I had c section I had a spinal at a women's and children's hospital and after it was finished they removed the surgical blanket only for me to find my legs were spread open and there was 30 plus med students standing in grown's getting the full view. Thanks women's and children's hospital they sure know how to treat a 20 yr old country girl with modest who was having their first baby.

[@Deba7777]

So very interesting, thank you!

[@isaacixtupe8983]

I am having an interview for an ORA position. This video has given me a lot of information. Thank you.

[@elodeagg457]

Cool, I always wondered what all the people in the OR do. Thank you for sharing this very informative video, as well as all your other informative videos. 😁👍

[@dadofashionstore8429]

I am starting my clinical rounds at Cleveland clinic on Tuesday. Thank you so much for all your videos

[@jeffcalimlim2748]

That was very cool to see from beginning to end the workflow of an OR!

[@ciorstaidh_hall]

Thankyou for all the awesome videos you put out - they are extremely helpful, and interesting too! I would love to see a video discussing what "kind" of person would thrive in a surgical tech role. It seems from watching your videos, the ideal surgical tech might be someone who is smart; is a team player; has impeccable attention to detail; doesn't cut corners on their work so to speak; can work under pressure when necessary; has somewhat of a thick skin to deal with any constructive criticism etc from fellow, often senior, employees they work alongside in stressful environments, etc etc. What skillsets and personality traits do YOU see repeatedly in successful surgical techs? What "sort" of person does the job suit best? Have you had any techs that quit after finding out the job wasn't for them, and if do, did you get any feedback from them on why it perhaps wasn't their ideal job? Thanks again for this channel!!

[@ccoop3774]

Kirsty, I think you described it to a T. Those skills are necessary for any OR personnel, no matter the initials behind their name.

[@SurgicalTechTips]

Your description is spot on. I have met some techs that weren't in the position long. I didn't personally ask them why, but I can tell you most of the people that leave the OR generally just don't enjoy the job. They get tired of doing the cases, working with certain surgeons, or the feeling of "never quite getting it".

[@joshtexx]

Great video and Great Channel 👍.. you should be reaching out to schools and other career builder type of programs.. this is such an honest look into the daily life or the Surgery/OR Dept.. *Recovery nurse nailed her role*

[@floatingonclouds684]

This is such an awesome video! So educational, thanks!

[@cookiepop123]

Nice one! Teamwork makes the dream work.

[@ccoop3774]

weevilspongebob1, yes, it does! Where I worked, RNs scrubbed too. I loved scrubbing. Often the CSTs would help circulate. We knew what the other's job entailed. There were many times we had to clean our own room, too. It always made the day better when there was that cohesiveness. It also took only one person that wasn't a team player in your room to spoil the day.

[@cookiepop123]

c coop totally its so annoying when ppl think certain roles are beneath them like mopping. Im studying in the UK as an ODP which is an Operating department practitioner so we scrub, do anaesthetics and also can work in recovery... it makes you appreciate all aspects of the job

[@ccoop3774]

weevilspongebob1, it's always interesting to learn how things are done in different countries. Are you a RN?

[@cookiepop123]

c coop nope im a 2nd year student ODP with a year to go until i qualify. So like i said above we scrub, do anasthetics- same as an anaesthesia tech i suppose and can work in recovery-same as recovery nurse. Usually you specialise in one speciality and rotate between scrub and anaesthetics. Unfortunately its not transferrable to that many countries so i think if i moved to the U.S i would only be able to do anaesthetics. Sorry for the long reply

[@Keturahanointedlove]

I just Love it. How they just went in on saying what they do to help on another during the day. This is addictive.. bcuz. I just love watching this... #imanewsubscriber

[@SurgicalTechTips]

Glad you love the vids 😅

[@HA-00]

Excellent video...again! Thanks so much for all that you do to educate your viewers!

[@The_Damager]

I’m a anesthesia tech and I work with anesthesia one on one as well. You guys don’t have any CRNAS? Our anesthesiologists only interview the patient and do blocks and CSE.. Our CRNAS but the patient to sleep and wakes them up at the end of the case. But anyway great vid! Good insight on everything.

[@SurgicalTechTips]

I work in hearts where we do not see CRNA's at all. They mostly do the smaller cases at my hospital. From what I hear, every town is quite different though in how they utilize them.

[@ccoop3774]

Surgical Tech Tips, they are in every case we do unless it's a conscious sedation procedure. We don't do hearts, though. The MDA is usually with them for the induction, but not always. If not, the RN assists them. Other than hearts, transplants, cranis, we did everything else.

I worked in environmental services one time. It was for community service when I got in trouble as a juvenile. I hated it. I did 4 hours and decided to not do that anymore. I did my last 8 hours at the Boys Club. I was on the chain gang for the football classic. That was fun. I was one of the guys that hold the 10 yard chain that run out on the field and measure to see if they got a first down.

Hi Shane have you ever worked with a surgeon who calls out the instruments that they need during surgery. You know like how they do in some movies, they'll say something like "scalpel and then the surgical tech may or may not repeat the word scalpel." I wonder if any doctors still do that. Anyway.. have you?
