"ROUTINES FOR INFECTION CONTROL IN THE SURGICAL ROOM"
We must always wear a surgical mask when meeting patients
We wear the mask and go out to get the patient
Take your patient with you, set them on the chair and stand 2 m away
Both you and the patient must have your masks on
You can then tell a little bit about what's going to happen, say that you´re going to get hydrogen peroxide 1%
which is a covid-related measure by asking all patients to rinse their mouth
For this you have to fill a cup with 10ml hydrogen peroxide
you then hand it to the patient and ask them to rinse their mouth for about a minute
and then tell them to spit it back out in the cup
While the patient is rinsing their mouth you explain to them that you have to go and put on your attire according to the rules
You start by sanitizing your hands
Then you have to get a green apron and clip it on yourself
Then you put on a face shield, and you have to use a face shield whether or not you have on safety glasses. Though you can choose to put on safety glasses if you dont have them.
Put on your face shield and sanitize your hands once again
And then put on gloves.
When you are finished with your patient you take off your face shield and put it beside the sink where you initially picked it up from
Then you take off your green apron
and put in the washing room/red room
You also put the used instruments in here when you are finished with them later on
