STERILE GOWNING AND GLOVING *SURGERY*

[@playfulpanthress]

I’ve been a scrub for twenty years now, and traveled for fifteen of those years. I wish hospitals would use your videos to refresh on basic skills and for baby docs coming through the OR. It’s pretty scary out here sometimes. I’m at a level one hospital now that seems to have forgotten the literal basics of sterile technique and are very defensive against being reminded. A non judge mental video like this is very much needed. Thank you for making and posting it!

[@renenugent9827]

Your video is so helpful.i started clinicals got nervous and forgot how to gown and glove.came home watch your videos and I started getting compliments that I'm doing good as a student.😊

[@basicbrooklyn7565]

I’m almost at the 4 month mark of my CST. I graduate in December. I just want to thank you for your videos. They have been my main tool of learning outside of the classroom by watching your videos and then doing it in the lab.

[@Indras_Second]

Yes, please don't stop making these videos. I find them so fascinating and helpful since I'm going into this field

[@JoseRamirez-xs5lq]

Wow that's amazing how much care and detail there is for putting gloves on .. I can only imagine how much one needs to know to do a surgery .. very professional

[@shane193]

This guy is amazing. Incredible personality. Excellent teacher. Most people in surgery do not have this great of a personality.

[@SurgicalTechTips]

+Shane Rakey Hey, we have the same first name, so you must be pretty incredible too 😉

[@Bajanqtay2012]

8-0 My face watching your video as a 2nd yr resident because no one ever showed me how to do the closed glove technique in all the gowning & gloving sessions I've had since my 1st yr as a medical student. Life changing.

[@bettysmith4527]

I give STs A LOT of credit, I couldn't do your job! They wanted me to learn to scrub c-sections when I was a labor nurse, and I did it a few times and was like, nope, no thanks, resulted in me quitting since it was a non-negotiable part of the job!

[@Kristonia69]

Thank you for all the effort you put into making these videos. I finally took the plunge and am in tech school. We use these videos in class and they're really helpful.

[@justinboaldin4852]

Thank you for these videos. I’m getting back into scrubbing after a 6 year brake and just seeing these is bringing back so much muscle memory. Much appreciated good sir.

[@elizabethannferrario7113]

oh my gosh being a registered nurse , i worked in neurosurgical intensive care, but i spent a year in theatre and this brings back memories! but i missed my patients but i love theatre too !

[@andrewveitch8515]

Starting a new job in CV OR where as a RN are required to scrub so am eating up all your videos . Its been many years since I worked in the OR so doing a crash course. Thanks so much for assisting so many of us (CST's and RNs)

[@araceliromero2300]

This is my first year in the surgical tech program and these are really helpful!

[@timdarr8008]

Congrats on becoming a surgical tech. I went back to school after I received my medical assistant license and became a pa. It’s fun and you do meet a lot of decent people. I am in pain management. What type of surgeon do you work for?

[@kathiemarie]

AST Core Curriculum states not to glove off the back table, that is why we teach it that way. :)

[@lindaoliver1365]

I live by your videos, thank you for sharing your skills to rookies like myself! Cute too 🙏🏻😉 Keep the videos coming!!!

[@mariamontufar4675]

Thank you for all the good surgical tips and the time you take put them together, very helpful.

[@nicolasy8057]

These video's are so helpful please keep making them . Thank you so much for sharing 😊 . Truly appreciated more than you could imagine . Once recovered from a car accident I had not my fault . Happened on the freeway in the UK where I'm from & a driver using his cell phone behind me crashed into me ! Thankful to still be here today . So once fully recovered & get the all health checks cleared I can then finally pursue my dream of becoming an Operating Department Practitioner . Your video's are excellent & best I've come across so please keep making them . Thank you so very much 😊 .

[@matthewbailey8553]

Thank you for your videos, they are so helpful! Keep doing what you do my brother!

[@CityWalkSHA]

It's very very helpful learning the use of the medical disposable, thank you so much for the series!

[@loralab8647]

I recently came across this channel and love learning more about surgery and all the behind the scenes. As someone who works in pharmacy (which requires manufacturing sterile medication), sterile standards in an OR and pharmacy CIVA room are significantly different. Primarily how personnel garbs and maintaining a sterile room. Pharmacy staff are required to only wear lint free clothing (scrubs that the hospital provides) therefore you are not allowed to have undershirts exposed or a lanyard around your neck. In addition men and women must have no facial hair (clean shaven) or must wear beard masks. The clean room (sterile room in the CIVA room) requires no paper products, computers, and overall very minimal unnecessary “stuff”. It’s very interesting to learn how different areas in a hospital have specific guidelines and procedures for sterile technique. Keep the learning coming.

[@Danielmatiez13]

Your videos are great I'm a surgical tech about to go for my externship, everything in your videos is almost word for word in my personal training great videos.

[@blastbeats_mockmeats]

Thank you. I've scrubbed in a few times to assist with veterinary surgeries; hopefully soon I'll be able to do it without verbal guidance each time! Always get a little nervous and confused about closed gloving. This is the best video I've found for it.

[@Ykcazyyt]

Thank you so much for your videos, it’s been a while since graduating and I’m starting a surg tech job in a couple weeks. :) Your videos will help me brush up!

[@seashell3200]

I hope you come back and make some more videos! I’m just starting in the OR and am searching for any kind of helpful tips and instruction.

[@brendazanabria6797]

Thank you so so much, I am corrently in clinics for surgical practice in my country (Mexico City) and I tend to struggle with certain things, you have helped me so much wih your videos

[@ScolarshipBoy1984]

que estudias?

[@Alex-ys5xk]

Love the videos. Currently studying Surgical Tech and these videos are a huge help for the future.

[@notneuro]

man i wish i discovered your vids sooner. i'm 3 weeks away from being done with my 21 week rotation. so much good information that i wish i had. i'll definitely be showing this video to students that are about to go out to clinicals. where are you from by the way?

[@SurgicalTechTips]

+dylan p thanks man, I'm in Las Vegas.

[@Gabriel3Gamu]

You made gloving look sooooo easy. Great video

[@tyrarobinson5602]

thank you so much for your videos it really helps me alot.My biggest problem is learning how to gown and glove myself

[@smokeypucan8624]

Thank you sir! Student nurse here. Its so helpful to me

[@naimoahmedsulieman8054]

I’m one year away from medical school, and I feel like I will be ahead of my group by the time I start 😂. Btw I love your videos they inspire me a lot thanks 🙏🏼

[@charlesthehandsomeandbrave2956]

that's what they say every time :v

[@Chara12]

You can never know so much in med school.. it always feels new. All the best 💪🏻

[@thegreyladm8547]

I mean they can look up the same videos as well

[@nathanseigrist4010]

Thanks so much! Reviewing for my 4th year surgical rotation in med school lol

[@emaleigh2426]

thank you for this video, i failed my midterm in lab today because i just got so nervous and i get to make it up next week and will continue to watch this over and over again until i get it 🤣 you’re videos are great thank you!

[@Supersquigi]

You failed the midterm because you're nervous? Maybe you didn't study enough.

[@cellogirl11rw55]

I'm going through a vet assistant program, and this is super helpful. Thank you!

[@enderfries6213]

Im a med student and i have literal YEARS before i come close to doing surgery but these videos are so motivating lol

[@laceyjones7801]

Thank you so much for what you do. I start clinicals in 3 weeks. I watch your vids and practice every day. Gloving is hard for me but I will get there. 💪🤘

[@jecidalopez5136]

Thank you so much for your videos.. I’ve learned so much from watching your techniques.. I start work in a few days and because of these videos I feel confident.. much appreciated and keep the videos coming. Don’t know if you have videos on draping the patients but I’m sure students coming in will want to be more comfortable learning that skill.🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@ginalubatti5062]

Your videos are awesome! I start clinicals in 2 weeks and these videos help so much.

[@latishabrown2158]

Thank you for this! My instructor showed us the incorrect way and I almost got marked off for it on my check offs!!! You're awesome!!!✨🎉🎓

[@lotusdelosreyes8236]

Thank you for all your videos they are very helpful most esp for new OR nurses like me.

[@jenniferkempa4148]

Your videos are saving me right now. I thought we were going to be back on campus for lab this summer, but it seems like we may have to wait a little longer. Your videos are a perfect adjunct to my remote teaching.

[@timdarr8008]

His videos are great. After I received my medical assistant license I went back to school and became a pa. Congrats on becoming a surgical tech..You will love It!!!!!

[@lindathrall5133]

THAT'S THE BEST GOWNING AND GLOVING VIDEO IVE SEEN

[@ChenagoOutdoors]

Almost done with my LPN and this is what I plan on doing afterwards. Glad I found your page so I can get a jump on learning the basics.

[@pb4ugo19]

How did you like your LPN program? I'm torn between surgical tech and LPN. I've also heard they are asking LPNs to scrub, so that's why I'm curious!

[@ChenagoOutdoors]

@@pb4ugo19 It’s tough but my thought is if being a surgical tech doesn’t work out I still have my LPN to fall back on and can go into other fields.

[@luabliss7464]

It’s cool to watch and compare to Germany . I’m working as a scrub nurse in Germany and we usually wash our hands first in the morning as we start our work day and before the first surgery ,after that we put disinfectants from the elbow to the hands , last thing we disinfect are our hands , we rub it in for about 3 minutes . The glove technique is the same , but we can use the closed one and the opened one , as we like 😊

[@tusaludoficial]

Thanks for all your videos

[@LaFranceBonjour]

How far we've come from getting the person drunk then performing surgeries with unsanitised tools, leaches, blood letting etc

[@rando4168]

There are still medical leaches

[@nidia1585]

Office surgical assistant here, going into an OR setting for the first time tomorrow and this video has helped me so much in learning this technique. I can't however, seem to figure out a way for my cuffs not to end up folded when putting the glove on 😮‍💨. They don't end up smooth like your cuffs.

[@LuisHernandez-vq2ff]

thank you so much for this content I hope you understand how helpful and enjoyable your videos are to your viewers :)

[@claudiafotiou7546]

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, really great content, keep up the excellent work! : )

[@FunSizeFishingMT]

Thank you for these videos! I am strongly considering getting my CST.

[@amyc4406]

Thanks for uploading this! I have a gowning and gloving quiz Tuesday for my Surgical Technology class.

[@brandenp96]

Great video...I recently accepted a position in the cardiac Cath Lab as a tech with minimal experience and I have been using a lot of your videos as it’s very similar in the Cath Lab.

[@chancecaeden550]

I’m not in school or doing anything medical related… I have no idea why I’m watching this, but it’s very informative

[@c-kildecatt1859]

We do things differently for the gloving technique, but I like this style better. My fingers keep getting tangled and I need more practice, but this was such a helpful video

[@nataliekaylynch]

Very Helpful, thank you so much. My background is oral surgery assisting and I am wanting to learn to scrub for hospital cases. Thank you!

[@SuperBiH123]

I currently am almost done, 1 semester left till I get my AAS

[@MichaeleL3]

I was a cst for six years, left to raise a family and am trying to get back into the field (I’ve remained in medical the entire time so it’s coming back pretty easily, I’m happy to say!). I did eyes and was told once that if you do ophthalmology, you’ll always have a job. Lolz. Thanks so much for posting. I appreciate fully your explanations and even when you talk about the ideal world versus the real world! It’s true. I’ve prepared entire cases without the circulator where my dang town was halfway to my waist and I set up in a halfway bent over position to avoid contaminating my field. Worth noting, it’s also recommended to open glove should you accidentally tear or contaminate during the case. Your circulator pulls your glove off and you’re supposed to open glove. Again, in the real world, I’ve had plenty of circulators who pulled the glove off in such a way that they pulled the gown cuff back over my hand. You don’t get into a pissing match, you keep the best aseptic technique in your situation and proceed with the case. Again, thanks for posting! These are excellent and your explanations are supremely helpful!

[@MichaeleL3]

*gown halfway down my waist (dang autocorrect)

[@ohyouknowme]

I'm still in school and these are great! Keep them coming! We were taught not to pull down the sleeves while gowning another person because it increases the risk of contaminating ourselves. It makes it more difficult for me to glove them though. I assume in the field it's usually done the way you've shown.

[@SurgicalTechTips]

It is, and honestly more often than not, the surgeons themselves will pull their sleeves down.

[@subhanakber906]

vry nice video

[@prblmsbby9449]

*I’m eating pickles at **2:38** in the morning while watching this*

[@samanthas2280]

Thanks for this! I'm shadowing a tech for the first time in a few days, and these are helping me not feel so nervous. I'll still look like a wide-eyes, akward doofus, but that's inevitable. At least i might not be as nervous.

[@rosabautista1159]

[@rangsilandrew3542]

Same my fiance too, what compulsion is that?

[@jprl403]

You are really helping other nurse to learn sterile technic

[@doclovestech392]

You're a professional!

[@danielaguirre2025]

Hey dude, I appreciate the informational videos! Keep them coming, they are really helpful and neat to watch. I am looking into becoming a surgical tech myself. All your videos have given me great insight on what its like to be a tech. Props and kudos to your surgeon too (If that was indeed your surgeon lol) That was awesome role play! :D

[@SurgicalTechTips]

It was a fellow nurse friend! But thanks! Should have some surgeons as well as some of my other staff members I work with in some future videos, its hard to coordinate many people though..

[@peppermintprincess7442]

Ai learned about surgery behind the scenes. I'm not stidying to be a surgeon. I was just Curious as how things work, as the patient is Getting settled in, the surgeon s rubs up and Puts on gowns and gloves. I found it fas inating, 3 gloving techniques. I enjoyed this video! The scrub up before surgery was very Interesting! I think that these videos are good For people who are curious about the gowning And gloving, scrubbing up, these videos show Us what goes on in a detailed manner! I will watch ny videos I see from this title. I learned a lot within a short time. Thank you! I learned some new stuff! God bless you Doc!

[@magdalenemwanake6721]

Hi can you make video on typesof operation theatre alarms their uses and how to respond to them. Will be highly appreciated. Thank you

[@elizabethpalacios4036]

can you go through common contaminations and how to work after you've contaminated? Love your videos !

[@DanBurgaud]

I wonder how I got here? I was searching for mechanic's gloves and ended here! Nonetheless, I stayed to watch this nice and informative video to the end.

[@PhoenixRoseYT]

Great for med students too! Although my mom is a surgical tech and showed me how to do this in person too :)

[@satokumasmom5348]

Thanks... I start school in Jan... awesome info

[@surajsingh-ed7vo]

Your channel is best your video is so helpful

[@dukedoggydoggy]

I love it I was taught the exact same way in school

[@gostx6]

Hey man, love the videos, I'm a recently graduated surgical tech and I was hired at my facility several months ago, but you should do a video on clean vs sterile procedures. During my clinical rotations I rotated between 4 different hospitals and all of them approached the set up for clean procedures differently and I think it would be interesting to see how your facility does it plus it would really be helpful for students to see as well, thanks man, keep up the good work!

[@Harlem55]

That depends upon how you define clean: There is clean in the sense of aseptic but still technically non-sterile - for example inserting an IV, drawing blood, etc. Then there is clean in the sense of the ISO cleanroom. The difference between Sterile and Clean in the sense of the cleanroom is that in an OR if we look at sterile instruments under an electron microscope while they're still sterile, you'll find extremely small biological fragments of dead bacteria and viruses measuring to fractions of a micrometer (several times smaller than the size of a live virus), extremely small particles of dust, etc. which don't have any consequential import to a sterile field (because they're dead and can't cause infection). the ISO cleanroom environment specifies that we're going an extra step beyond surgical sterility and requiring there is no cellular or acellular debris whatsoever. Usually, this later sense is only needed when whatever it is we're doing must consider static electrical charges on the atomic or molecular levels. Therefore, technically speaking, the proper term you're looking for is aseptic procedure, not clean procedure.

[@SalmanFaris-mp7xb]

It's good to watch and really helpful.....thank You Sir.

[@sasp7351]

3.08 plz make a video on how to fold a surgical gown for autoclave and keep the cufs accessible for the surgeon to get into it.

[@michellecamara7661]

I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@wholeNwon]

Very good demo. Dry from hand toward elbow but not back again. The issue with gloves on the instrument table (sterile field) is how the gloves got there. Often the outside package is opened by a circulating nurse or someone else and the inner packaging is sort of flipped onto the table, often with their hands actually passing over the table. All of this is suboptimal and risks contamination. Also, when stretching the gloves over the surgeon's hands, excessive stretching risks contamination the outside of his gown cuff. This usually isn't an issue unless gloves must be changed during a procedure. Also, the glove cuffs always retract to some degree during an operation potentially risking exposing contaminated cuff.

[@hollumsss]

Great video!! I needed this refresher. Awesome job.

[@kmedrano1]

You made closed gloving look sexy!! So struggle-less LOL I'm definitely pulling my gloves to alleviate the stickiness from now on

[@jeeannajuarez4117]

Keisha Medrano RIGHT! the struggle is so real with me and regular gloves 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@basicbrooklyn7565]

I know the feeling. It helps a ton but my teacher said I’m technically “contaminated” because the border to 1in on the wrapper for the gloves is considered not sterile.

[@Noname-gd1eb]
