Sorry. 15-18 puffs was supposed to be 15-18 lbs of lead. I did not work for 7 months. I have been on return to work program for that past 4 months. Still cannot do my duties without pain. I am unsure that I will ever be able to scrub for any great length of time. The OR is very hard on your back.

I injured myself ten months ago in the OR. A herniated disc whine result in surgery. This all from wearing an 15-18 puffs

Sorry should have been more specific. Patients have already had chlorohexidine scrub Preop. We currently use iodine solution to paint surgical site. Two nurses paint patients chest, abdomen, groins and both legs circumferentially to ankles. The legs are free limb draped (using a perigroin drape) and the unprepped feet are in isolation bags. There are two surgical sites here. The chest and the legs. Should one nurse be only painting the chest? While the other is prepping the legs? Should the "leg nurse"be using separate paint brushes for each leg?

What kind if surgical site skin preps are being done in other centers. More specifically for CABG patients.
