Steps for Using a Angiography Pack
Preoperative preparation
Check whether the outer packaging of the Angiography Pack is damaged or damp, and confirm the sterilization, expiration date and other information.
Select the appropriate Angiography Pack according to the type of surgery and place it on a stable and appropriate height surgical instrument table.
Assist the patient to position himself, clean, disinfect and drape the surgical area.
Open the Angiography Pack
Remove the outer packaging and unfasten the fixing straps or clips.
Open the outer sterile cloth as instructed, and be careful not to touch the inner surface with your hands.
Check the sterilization instruction card to confirm that the items in the bag are complete and undamaged.
Operational equipment and supplies
After the hand-washing nurse wears sterile equipment, he uses sterile forceps or gloves to take the instruments and pass them to the surgical staff.
Use auxiliary supplies such as gauze and sutures as needed, and follow the principle of sterility.
Install and debug special instruments first, and pay attention to the sterility of the connection parts.
Postoperative arrangement
After the operation, rinse the contaminants on the instruments with clean water or cleaning fluid in time.
Arrange the remaining uncontaminated sterile supplies and place the used items in categories.
Disposable surgical kits should be treated as medical waste, and reusable ones should be sent to the disinfection supply center for treatment and reserve.
