Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 1   TSC 003 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Where Surgery Happens

Captions available

The idea

Surgery happens in three main kinds of setting: hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics or offices.

In practice

Hospital rooms take the most complex cases; ambulatory centers take outpatient procedures with no overnight stay; offices take minor procedures under local anesthetic.

Where people slip

A sterile field is still required in any setting where skin is intentionally cut.
