Principles of Surgical Technology

Catalog description

This course provides for the continued study of surgical team participation by focusing on wound management and co-related skills for the operating room. Topics include patient care concepts; preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative skills; and perioperative case management; and the principles of minimally invasive surgical techniques. (There are surgical procedures that are similar as far as procedural steps, instrumentation, supplies, patient position, etc. This is referred to as the “Co-Related Procedures Concept.” The purpose of using the Co-Related Procedures Concept is to provide the instructor additional time to teach surgical procedures as well as avoid repetition.)
