SURG 205 - Surgical Technology II


4 hrs (Sem I)
This course is a continuation of SURG 100  with theory necessary to function as a beginning surgical technologist.  It continues with the basic concepts necessary to establish, maintain, and coordinate the methods required for good patient care preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. This includes wound closure and healing, sutures, legal aspects, emergencies in surgery, lasers, robotics and microbiology. In the remaining weeks of the semester, emphasis is placed upon the working relationship with the surgical team members and operative procedures which are explained by specialty as the student applies skills learned in the first weeks of the program to actual procedures. Instrumentation, anatomy and physiology, medical terminology and basic operating room techniques are reviewed. The theory and application to procedures will be given, progressing to the more advanced procedures. Application of theory to the clinical setting is emphasized through lecture.
