Perioperative simulations

We had skill lab lessons last Wednesday and during those lessons we had perioperative simulations. We had  one case and from that case we had two different simulation practices. In the case we had an elderly lady with hip fracture and she was about to have a surgery so the simulation practices were about scrubbing and circulating, and anesthesia.
I was in a group which made first the circulating and scrubbing simulation. In that simulation we were supposed to get lady ready for operation. Half of the group was first did the circulating part and the other half did the scrubbing. I did first the circulating part so I was helping the scrub nurses with their sterile gowns and I also opened the sterile packages. The rest from the circulating group were washing the site of surgery. When we had got the patient ready for the operation we switched parts so in the second time I was in the scrubbing group.  At first we performed the hand wash and after that we put the sterile gowns and gloves. We we had all the sterile clothes on we did the sterile draping which means that we covered up the patient with sterile paper sheets so that only the operation side is showing.
The second simulation was about the anesthesia preparations before the surgery. At first we got the patient's background information and we were supposed to gather all the things needed in spinal anesthesia. We were working as a one group and we first made the list about the things we would need in this anesthesia. After we had made the list we gathered all the things from the anesthesia table. When we got all the things ready the anesthesiologist came and started the anesthesia. After the anesthesia was ready the patient got sick so we needed to give her some antiemetic drug. Her pulse was also quite low so we had to treat also that.
I didn't learn that much new things during those simulations since I have already been practicing in operation room but it was very nice and useful revise about all the things related to the surgery preparations.
