Surgeons scrub their hands meticulously to ensure sterility before performing surgery, following a specific procedure. The reference video focuses on the anatomical surgical hand scrub. While a complete description wasn't provided, the reference explains the importance of scrubbing each surface of the hands and fingers. A key part of this process includes using ten strokes on each surface.
Here's a breakdown based on the reference:
- Thumb Scrubbing: The surgeon scrubs the outside surface of the thumb, moving from the wrist to the tip, using ten strokes. This process is then repeated on the other side of the thumb.
- Finger Scrubbing: Similar to the thumb, each side of each finger receives ten strokes.
In summary, surgical scrubbing involves a detailed and repetitive cleaning of all hand surfaces with antiseptic soap, often timed to ensure adequate contact time.
