Transcription

1 Brief Summary of Closing Tray Process for Cesarean Section 1. Opening and Closing trays are opened and counted at the beginning of the case. 2. The Closing tray set up and gowns/gloves for the changeover are aseptically covered and set aside. 3. The case proceeds as usual until the uterus and or peritoneum is closed. Final, full instrument, lap and sharp counts are done. 4. Everyone at the OR table steps away as the light handles are removed, cautery tip and suction tips removed and unplugged. 5. Gowns and gloves are aseptically removed, with new sterile gowns and gloves aseptically donned. 6. A new drape is applied to the surgical field, with new light handles, cautery, and suction if needed. New, sterile, pre-counted closing instruments are moved to the field and the case proceeds from this point as usual.
