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!
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!
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
You are the only one on UA-cam that’s doing what you do. Great job man you deserve a lot more recognition and is students definitely appreciate your videos 💯
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! ^^
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!!!
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!!!!
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!
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!
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!!
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. 😁👍
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!!
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".
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.
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*
This was fun to watch. I feel I've learned so much from binge watching a few of your videos. I truly appreciate them. I'm now a new Subscriber. Thanks for all that you do in bringing us a first hand look into the OR with your vids!
Great video Shane!! It was cool seeing everyone talk about their roles and what the flow is like on a typical surgery!! Thank you for sharing and thank you to your coworkers for sharing their roles too!! :-) ~Amy
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
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.
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
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
This fall semesters my final semester for per-requite. i am very exciting to be come Surgical Tech but sometime feel bit nervous somehow however; i always watched your you-tube channel make me feel confident about ST, you are creating so great video always with good people. Thank you!!!
Great job man! You have really an amaizing group of people in your team n you work together n co-ordinate to get the job done , seems well organized team work. Great job!
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.
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.
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.
@surgicaltechtips awesome vid Shane, like that you incorporated your work family for once! Speaking about roles in the OR and co-works, can you give us an update on your ST coworker Memo? In the video you did with him you spoke that he was being deployed with the army! Would love to see another vid him and his experience overseas! Love the vids man, keep it up!
What about interactions with the Blood Bank or other Labs and Pharmacy? I’m a Med Tech (Blood Bank) did that for 20 years and a Pharmacist. When I was a Pharmacy student I stocked anesthesia kits among other things.
That's right. Patients are victims of these butchers known as surgeons. I was a victim recently and I'm still fuming about that. Will speak to a lawyer.
The way the hospitals work and the team that is used to ancomplish these things is absolutely AMAZING , Godbless all healthcare workers in the hospital, in Jesus name amen
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.
At time frame 5:10 I noticed at the top of the board it said HCA and I work for the same parent company that owns the the hospital I work at. I'm a surgery assistant
I have really gotten into these medical professionals tips videos. Nurse Sarah and ST Shane have shown me just how much work medical professionals do. Doctors and surgeons get the glory, but the support staff make it possible.
Ok so i have two different questions and you may have mentioned them in other videos but one i was wondering what do you do during the surgery if the surgeon gets sick or passes out and two what do you do if the hospital had a code red or and codes to lockdown the area your in or hospital in general
I have an interview for a Sterile Processing Technician position and just wondering if you would give me some tips of what to wear for the interview. Thanks!
Hmm... I wonder if I gave up too quickly on my dream of working in a hospital setting? I can't handle high stress environments, so I gave up on being a nurse. I wonder if there's something else I can do?
@@SurgicalTechTips , What about the Biomed Techs? Maybe do a video on them since they repair, test and calibrate all the medical equipment in Pre OP, Surgery / CVOR and PACU..... not to mention the entire hospital. Great video. 👍
Aw what about sterile processing? You need your instrument sets clean and sterile and you always call us when looking for a specific tray or instrument, or when something needs to be turned over quickly or fast tracked for a case. At least that's how it is at the hospital I work at. Also, I'm loving these videos!
How about a surgical aide? recently applied to a job titled surgical aide that only required bls. will definitely be looking into becoming a surgical tech though
YES I DID. CRAP. SPD Techs play a HUGE role in the OR alongside these other roles in the video. Check this vid to learn about them! ua-cam.com/video/ix7XdCInZhM/v-deo.html
Lol I’m really glad that you have a video dedicated to that department. I thought you left it out like hospitals usually leave out that department on a daily basis. Thank you for acknowledging them!
KimmiCub _ , you have a hard, demanding job. I know at my hospital they didn't want to pay Y'all what you deserved. There was always a high turnover in your dept.
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?
Karen Ware, sure, they always ask for what they want. Now when you have worked with a surgeon performing certain surgeries many times, you'll know what instrument to have ready.
Jasmine Crawford if happens but rarely. They get responsive before that start feeling anything they’re immediately put back to sleep with a higher dose of anesthesia. In most cases they won’t remember waking up
So the circulation nurse is the one who catherize me during surgery. I wondered who did it during my surgeries. It's nice to not have to jump up after surgery and not have to pee. Also, a safety issue after being narced up with feel good meds.
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!
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!
Geez man, bringing a tear to my eye. Appreciate it brotha.
Yes sir no doubt.
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
Good Video,i did Housekeeping in The O.R.im going to school for Surgical Tech.

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
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.
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.
That surgeon was awesome!!
Yeah, he's a fun guy to work with. Fun fact his favorite pandora station to listen to during surgery is 2Pac lol
Surgical Tech Tips I was expecting death metal or something 😂😂 surgeons are a breed of their own and they’re awesome 😁😁
I thought the same! I like him even more so now since he likes 2 pac lol
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.

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.
I loved the surgeon’s sense of humor! 😂

I have really gotten into these medical professionals tips videos. Nurse Sarah and ST Shane have shown me just how much work medical professionals do. Doctors and surgeons get the glory, but the support staff make it possible.
Your circulator said a lot of great info but didn’t talk about the importance of the timeout and intra-op charting (a legal document!).
Wow, 3 guys? I work with ALL female nurses and techs save 1 Male RN who just started a few months ago.
Ok so i have two different questions and you may have mentioned them in other videos but one i was wondering what do you do during the surgery if the surgeon gets sick or passes out and two what do you do if the hospital had a code red or and codes to lockdown the area your in or hospital in general

Google it
What did he say that was bleeped out?
He shared what I would consider a HIPAA violation if I wear to release that to the public.
@@SurgicalTechTips ,
What about the Biomed Techs? Maybe do a video on them since they repair, test and calibrate all the medical equipment in Pre OP, Surgery / CVOR and PACU..... not to mention the entire hospital. Great video. 👍
I tried to google this but I couldn’t find any answers. What is the difference between surg tech 1 & 2, etc?
Is Howell, one of the PreOp nurses an Asian specifically Filipino?
Yes he is.

PACU nurses are angels ❤️ every surgery I feel so thankful for them!
Do a video on patient positioning by showing how the safety strap works.

Bro how about and autographed pic for a future cst lol 1154 East 229th street drive south Bronx ny 10466 11f lol
Hi mr surgical tech. Is the pre op nurse a filipino?
Jake should cover his beard
Forgot the sterile processing ;)
In surg tech school, which segment is the most difficult, Beginning, middle or end of the program?
Every segment has its challenges, I don't think there is anything necessarily easy about school tbh, its meant to challenge you.
Do you think as a military reservist I would get discriminated against.
why no beard covers?
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.

Thanks
C coop is awesome with answering questions! He's spot on.
Thanks for replying shane
Karen Ware, yvw!
So a tech puts arterial catheters in? Wow! I thought only doctors do that. That's scary.
Nope not necessarily
do you have scrub nurses?
Hi like you program help
Have you ever had a patient wake up during surgery?
Jasmine Crawford if happens but rarely. They get responsive before that start feeling anything they’re immediately put back to sleep with a higher dose of anesthesia. In most cases they won’t remember waking up
Was that a subrua brah
So the circulation nurse is the one who catherize me during surgery. I wondered who did it during my surgeries. It's nice to not have to jump up after surgery and not have to pee. Also, a safety issue after being narced up with feel good meds.
Not necessarily who did t
Does ST have to do a lot of math?
Can lvn work in the or
My local hospital has a job opening for OR Attendant can you explain what this job is? Does your hospital have a similar job to this?
