[Warby, Kylie]

Hi Liz,

As we have patient’s that come from rural properties that use tank or dam water, our major cases and orthopaedics have pre-op showers onsite.

We have a Day of Surgery Admission Lounge that has shower facilities.

Kind Regards

Kylie

Hello Everyone

Can those who undertake orthopaedic surgery tell me whether you currently undertake Orthopaedic pre-op skin prep on wards pre theatre. Apparently our sterile drape supplies are restricted.
I was under the impression that this an older discarded practice other than pre-op shower and that skin prep is only conducted immediately pre-op.
Would appreciate your input

With Thanks
