This book is excellent for all the new surgical technologists and ST students out there! This book lays it down in simple, almost layman-like terms but is very thorough. Everythng you need to prepare for a case you have never done is in this book. I cannot say enough about how greatly helpful this book is! It has gotten me through alot of stressful situations! If you read this book the night before or right before a case the MD will think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread because it really tells you EVERYTHING you need to know! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend buying this book. It makes your job SO much easier!!!

This is a very handy guide for new scrub techs and nurses in the OR. Many basic operations and procedures are explained in a simple form. Great reference book.
A "Must-Have" book for new OR nurses August 13, 2005

This book is wonderful! I have used it over and over again! I bring it home with me at night to review what my cases will be for the following day, and then, because the book is small enough I can take it along with me as a back-up! It gives sections on prepping as well as equipment needs, positioning, and what to expect during the surgery! It definitely is a "Must-Have" book for the OR nurse!

This book-which does need to be updated a bit- is absolutely ESSENTIAL!!!
A book such as this one can give you all your basics from draping questions right on through instrumentation & closing. It is a great reference when you are hit with a case you haven't done in a while or just need to review. You can't go wrong with it as a purchase.
A must have for any OR professional! March 21, 2006

An indispensible guide for OR procedures/surgeries! Each procedure includes a definition, procedure info, pt positioning, skin prep, draping, equipment, instrumentation, supplies and special notes. Also has tray setup info. Very informative! Compact size, all text, no pictures. Worth the money!
