Re: Policy Questions and Hello
We wear hospital laundred scrubs when circulating C/S.
It varies by the doc. Some do no prep at all, some use betadine. All have recently agreed that we no longer have to use sterile water to prep with. Even with a betadine prep, they've OK'd using warm tap water. This should save us some money.
Our delivery tables are considered clean, not sterile. We try to set them up no more than a couple of hours before delivery. If the set up and covered table has been in the room with the patient, it can't be used for another patient. But if it was set up in the hall, it can be used for anyone.
You'll see lots of different answers to these questions. If your delivery table is considered sterile, you must adhere to the same policy as the OR and their sterile tables. If it's only clean, the policy may differ from the OR
