Surgical Procedures II

This course focuses on the critical principles of microbiology, asepsis, and infection control in the surgical environment. Students examine microbiology’s impact on sterile technique and analyze immune responses while understanding the infectious process. The course also emphasizes the importance of asepsis and surgical conscience in patient care. Key topics include the roles of the surgical team, principles of safety, and medical terminology. Students develop practical skills in maintaining sterile fields, preparing instruments, and managing surgical supplies. The laboratory component allows students to observe and demonstrate principles and procedures, reinforcing their competencies in surgical techniques, patient positioning, and preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative routines.
