    New surgical tech in L&D here. Watched this before my work shift yesterday. 21 babies delivered. 2 urgent surgeries (1 emergent surgery and 1 that became urgent because we had to put mom to sleep.) You don't know how helpful it was to 1. Walk through the steps as things were getting setup and 2. reassure myself that most of the surgery could be done with the knife, bovie, and suction. Thank you SO much for posting this! I believe it really helped me, my patients, and their babies.

    Love that you have these for new techs!!! 👍🏻 30 + yrs here, as you were explaining all the steps and so on i felt so proud to see someone else take pride in their job and what they do.., efffective and efficient. ... At the end of the day what i would tell my surgical tech students is that you will or should eventually get to the point where you should have ready whatever instrument/suture etc. etc. etc. it is the surgeon needs BEFORE he/ she asks for it... GREAT JOB on these videos 😷😁👍🏻✌🏻
    1 more thing.... sometimes you, the CST/ST will be the one who may have to FA & tech on a case with your surgeon.... been there ..done that 🙋🏼‍♀️

    while in the U.S. Army I was the head General and Thoracic Tech. I was on the night shift at Madigan Army Medical Center in 1980...I was sound asleep in the TV room...when we got a call for a gun shot...I went from a dead asleep to setting up the sterile field in less then 30 secs...before I knew what was happening, I was scrubbing up...the circulating Nurse got the supplies as I was scrubbing up...The Surgeon ran into the OR and started scrubbing just as I was finishing...I had the Field, instruments and completed as the Patient was being brought in...The surgeon then came, I gowned and gloved him...and we were on our way....I think back and said...How in the world did I do that so fast from a dead sleep...Knife Bovie suction and Laps and a few clamps...

    I was a surgical scrub nurse back in the 70's and loved it! Left nursing when my son was born and never went back. It's fun to see how you are setting up now. A few changes but mostly the same. I never heard the instrument you call "mosquitoes" called that. We called them snaps. Thank you!

    I'm only a layman here in the UK but the single most important message here is that what you're discussing doesn't happen by accident or fluke. It happens because you're disciplined, committed and have rigorously trained in your skills. Everyone there has a role, a purpose and you know what needs to be done, as much for each other as for the patient. If you're sat fumbling around or getting in the way then you directly affect the likelihood of a positive outcome. The reason that doesn't happen is simple. You know what you're doing. You're a team, from the paramedic to the nursing staff, the orderlies, the folks cooking the food and the folks mopping the floor. Every one of you has the same purpose and my own patient-perspective experience from here in the UK is that you execute that purpose flawlessly.

    I am going to school now to get my CST. I already work in the healthcare field at a hospital and people (specifically nurses) have asked me "Why ST? Why don't you just become a Nurse?" I joke around and say I dont enjoy that much patient interaction and I feel like becoming a CST will be way more rewarding in the end. I assumed this happened to you alot when you first started out? What are your usual responses and why did you choose CST over RN?

    @irakdallen8818 6 років тому

    I am just about to start ST and watching this mentally help me prepare for what I'm about to go into. Iv been a caregiver for my paralyzed Veteran stepdad for 6 years and honestly it's what made me think about the medical field. But I haven't known exactly which field I have wanted to go into, I have only learned from the nurses that came in to help. In the 6 years that I have been his caregiver I have realized that I have the skills of an RN just without the giving or taking blood. Which myself am afraid of needles and also do not have a steady hand. But whatever I can do to help save a life or prolong it according to the patient I will accept it. Surgical Tech is above my expectancy of my own life, but I am here now and I will be damned if I turn back.

I didn't do the same thing everyday, work with the same people. I was always in the spine room 3 days/week. Other than that, you name it. We were always learning new techniques, new implant systems, new equipment, etc. I miss it so much at times.

    When I was a hospital based medic in the 80's, a surgeon was hustling in for a case, and a city cop pulled him over for speeding. He told the cop he had an emergency surgery to perform, and the cop said, "go ahead, don't speed, I am following you". What he didn't tell the surgeon, was that he was going to wait until he was done and leaving the hospital, and handed him a speeding ticket....He did, I watched...

    Hello, first of all, I would like to give you credit for all the videos you've shared on UA-cam. It's all very helpful and informative and I learned a lot. I just would like to make a request if it's possible that you can upload a video which shows an actual procedure particularly a Laparoscopic one. I just would like to see how things are carried out based on your techniques and styles from preparing, prepping, draping and setting up on the operative field before the incision begins - setting up the tubes, light source and the like... Of course, patient confidentiality is an issue i know that, but I'm still hoping that you can come up with a video in response to my request. I'm always watching your videos and trying to incorporate the things that I learned from you at work. Thanks in advance! :)

    Hey Shane , I really appreciate you doing these beautiful, informative videos. First , “bit of info “ please introduce yourself at beginning of the videos for those that have not caught your name and position; like Surgical Technician it First Assistant. ( Difference as well ), ..
    I have a Medical education and work experience as a Professional Pharmaceutical Representative, then ironically I injured my spine again and required major spine surgery and now waiting for another one. A “ALIF “ or “Anterior Lumbar Inter- body Fusion “ but in my case besides fusion with bone, will use a titanium plate . L5-S1 ...
    I said , ironically “ because I worked in Orthopaedic Spine Surgery Research on a 5 year Government Grant at The Veterans Administration Medical Center here in Birmingham, AL. Great experience with surgical procedures and assisting, etc... plus my job doing it in lab setting. My interest in Medical education and more . Will explain more later...

    I do have one question. Why isn't there staff in the hospital to deal with emergency situations? By the time they call someone at home and they drive to the hospital, valuable time is wasted. What's your opinion on this? Guess there are two questions - lol.

    • @SurgicalTechTips
      @SurgicalTechTips  6 років тому +1

      As far as staff in the hospital at all times, that depends on how big the hospital is, or if they are a level 1 trauma center and such. Level 1 trauma centers will have staff there at all times sitting in trauma waiting for the next case to come in. They may sit there all night or day long with nothing, or they may be bombarded with cases (gunshot wounds). In other hospitals (smaller) that only take on level 2-3 trauma there is no need to have staff there 24/7 as the "emergent" cases they will be getting do not require immediate intervention. (appendectomy)

    Now I know things are going to vary greatly for a variety of reasons but I am curious. I know you take a lot of call. Do you get a lot of emergency calls?

    • @SurgicalTechTips
      @SurgicalTechTips  7 років тому

      +Stephanie Lake not really for our heart service. We get a lot during the day from our cath lab, but middle of the night? Maybe a 12-15 times a year.

    • @ccoop3774
      @ccoop3774 6 років тому +1

      You never know what your call will be like. I have put in 21 hours on a Saturday and I have put in 0 hours on a Saturday. We had to live within 30 minutes of the hospital. That means you're in the hospital and dressed out in 30 minutes. If you lived farther out, then you could stay in house. We had couches and recliners in our breakroom.
