Setting the Mayo Stand
Captions available
The idea
The Mayo stand is the instrument stand nearest the operative site, holding what the surgeon will need soonest.
In practice
It carries the instruments and supplies for the first steps of the case and is refreshed from the back table as the case moves on; counts include it.
Where people slip
Keep look-alike instruments apart on the stand, so a hurried hand reaches the right one.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
