Scrubbing in is the first step in becoming a sterile assistant in theatre. This webinar explains the aims of scrubbing in, how to map out the hands and arms so no surface is missed, and how to carry out a pre-scrub. It compares the three main scrub techniques: the timed method, the stroke or count method, and the waterless method using an alcohol-based hand rub.
Presented by Tess Richardson at the 2024 ACVN Nurse Conference (Surgical stream).
Includes the full recording (55 minutes), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.

From there it moves through drying, gowning, and closed and open gloving. It finishes by looking at which parts of a gowned and gloved person are actually sterile, what makes up the sterile field, and how to recognise and respond when the sterile field is broken.
