Keeping the Field in View
Captions available
The idea
A sterile field that is not watched is considered contaminated, because no one can say what touched it.
In practice
The scrub person faces the field, and if the field must be left unattended, the facility's policy decides whether it can still be used.
Where people slip
Turning your back on a sterile field breaks its sterility.
