It is also one of the scrub nurse's functions to wash the doctor's equipment after use in surgery. Some hospitals require the scrub nurse to wash the equipment used before delivering it to the CME, a clean area for preparation. At least removing the bulk of the equipment and delivering it dry for counting and checking in for sterilization. During the purge, the dirty equipment is washed, and I made this video to show you how the scrub nurse should do it. Throughout the video, you will see: The PPE required for use during washing How to wash How to dry - How to prepare for delivery to the clean area First, we use PPE, safety equipment, to wash the dirty instruments. These are: apron, goggles, protective earphones and nitrile gloves, which are more resistant to protect against sharp instruments such as scissors, backhaus, etc. Since we do this pre-wash, one of the tips I give is to separate what was not used from what was used during surgery. This way, we only wash what is dirty, avoiding the work of washing the parts that were not used and will then be washed by the specialized team before sterilization. I separate what is dirty inside a compress. To dry, we use a hospital oxygen gun, with high pressure to quickly dry the instruments. After drying, place them in the box and prepare the checklist for delivery. In the video, I show the integrator that should be placed and the label that identifies the material.
