SURG 1130 — Operating Room Theory
Operating Room Theory will enable students to function as an essential part of the medical team providing surgical care to patients in an operating room setting. Students will study the total operating room environment which includes preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. The principles of electricity, physics, Lasers, computers, and Robotics will be covered. In the Laboratory setting, the students will develop fundamental operating room skills, identify instruments, and prepare necessary supplies for surgical case management. Emphasis will be placed on demonstrating the principles of aseptic techniques as they apply skills inherent to the role of the surgical technologist. The students will observe, practice, and demonstrate these skills.
