For best surgical outcomesMinimize contamination Minimize blood loss
Minimize surgical time Stable anesthetic
Optimize tissue handling Post-operative wound care

Your main role will be inMinimizing contamination!
Both during and before surgery!

Routine cleaning makes sterile surgery possible!
Dust, dirt and debris in the surgery room cause contamination, infection and poor surgical outcomes!

Instruments must be cleaned after every use
![Page 6: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Clean instruments are wrapped
For steriliztion in the autoclave
![Page 7: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Wrap keeps the contents sterile

Packs are dated and labelled
And indicator tape is applied
![Page 9: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Use caution
When venting, opening and removing packs from the autoclave. Steam is HOT!

When sterile, the indicator tape changes color

After autoclaving, the interior of the pack is sterile
No one but the sterilely gloved surgeon may touch these!
![Page 12: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The team dons their caps and masks
Which keep hairs and nose and mouth germs out of the surgical sites.

The surgeon scrubs in
With disinfectant soap and a brush, to the elbows, for 10 miinutes
![Page 14: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Touching only the inside,
The surgeon gowns….
![Page 15: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
…and gloves
Ensuring that the outer surfaces of gown and gloves remain sterile
![Page 16: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The surgeon can now only touch what is sterile
And other team members may not touch anything sterile!
![Page 17: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Packs and other items must now be opened
Without contaminating the contents. The assistant must not touch the interior of the pack nor the drapes or the front of the surgeon.
![Page 18: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Drapes are unfolded without touching the front
![Page 19: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
And the operative site is draped off
This prevents the sterile surgeon accidentally touching the dirty skin
![Page 20: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Typically, anything covered in blue or green
Is sterile, so DON’T TOUCH!!!
![Page 21: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Surgery is performed
Using good hemostasis and careful tissue handling
![Page 22: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Bear in mind the crucial role of the anesthetist!!
No anesthesia = no surgery
Unsuccessful anesthesia = dead patient!
![Page 23: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Once surgery is completed
The patient is cleaned up, recovered, and eventually sent home
![Page 24: Principles of Surgery EFE Veterinary Science. For best surgical outcomes Minimize contaminationMinimize blood loss Minimize surgical timeStable anesthetic](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f335503460f94c4f2c0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Now we depend upon aftercare!Owners must be carefully instructed in necessary aftercare, or surgery can still be a failure!

Successful surgical outcomes
Create happy patients and happy clients!
