Description
A trusted source for over 20 years, this simple, straightforward text addresses the core of what a practicing surgical technologist needs
to know to work closely with surgical personnel in delivering optimum patient care before, during, and after surgery. Clear guidelines
help the reader understand and follow key procedures, common set-ups, and important considerations to ensure that the operating room
or environment is safe, that equipment functions properly, and that the operative procedure is conducted under conditions that maximize
patient safety. The 4th edition has been extensively revised to reflect the most current practice, including updates in areas such as
anesthesia, wound management, and endoscopic surgery. All procedures have been updated and new procedures have been added to many areas.
