Setting Up Is Planning

Captions available

The idea

Setting up the sterile field is the scrub person's first major task, and it is planned before anything is opened.

In practice

The scrub person reviews the preference card, helps the circulating nurse gather supplies, then arranges instruments and supplies in a logical order for the case.

Where people slip

A setup built in a hurry without a plan usually means searching for items during the case.
