Surgical Masks
Taking it back to the basics again today and
another one of the most important things that you
need to find what fits you in the o.r is the
surgical map right next to the surgical glove
which is also very important and you need to find
what quickly will the mask I mean that thing is
on your face all day long pretty much except for
when you're on break or walking around the
hallways or something but you got to find what
works you got to find what fits well what is not
abrasive to your skin and what doesn't fog up
your lenses.

Why Normal Mask are not used as surgical masks
Let's get through, we are talking about masks
today and I want to take you guys through all the
masks that we use at our facility starting with
the masks that you should not use if you are
scrubbed in the lr this mask I don't know if a
lot of other hospitals have them I would say this
mask as well as masks that have just the ear
loops on the side of the mask where you can just
loop it around your ears and the mask sits over
your face those types of masks are not designed
for surgical use I see a lot of anesthesiologists
that use this personally I mean they got rid of
all of the ear lube masks at our Hospital. They
were trying to get rid of this mask but they got
a lot of backlash from our a lot of our
anesthesiologists.

Wearing safety glasses and mask during surgery

• You know your safety glasses , your regular
  glasses whatever shield whatever you are reusing
  per se so this foam is designed to help prevent
  the fogging and it's also a nonabrasive foam so
  it's you know gentle to your skin I personally
  don't like it because my lens is still fogged up
  when I use them so the fog free the fog free mask
  that I use is this one and this one actually has
  like a film ,it's not a sticky film, it's just
  like a thin plastic film that goes over your nose
  and for some reason this really works well for me
  it doesn't work for everybody that's why you got
  to try these masks out when you get out there in
  the field and that's why it's important to find
  what works some people that I
• know use this comes with wax paper on the inside
  because this is actually adhesive and this will
  actually stick to the bridge of your nose .I find
  this very abrasive, I use this for a while and
  it's great for keeping the fog out because this
  is basically like putting tap around your nose
  and taping the mask to your face so really no air
  escapes above your nose the bridge of your nose
  into your goggle so it's great for fog free but I
  found it very abrasive to some but to the bridge
  of my nose and it would always be red and I'd be
  like pulling off skin and stuff like that it was
  just not a pleasant mask to have some of the
  masks that we have shields attached to them as
  you can see and this is a great feature.

Why Surgical Masks are Critical
If you don't have glasses security glasses or if
you just don't like wearing them and you prefer a
shield this works great and it comes with a fog
free foam strip as well so what works if you like
the shield we've got some regular old regular
masks no fog no nothing in there if you just want
something comfortable non-abrasive to open up
your room you know this is the type of mask for
you if that's what you really want. me personally
I just I stick with one mask and I wear that mask
all the time and that's the fog free with the
plastic now this mask this is an important map
this is 95 respirator masks some of you male out
there may know about this some of you may not
this is for tuberculosis patients TB patients if
you have a patient that comes into the o.r and
it's noted that they have TB it's important for
you that you wear this mask and actually every
year we have to get tested for TB obviously gets
a little shot in your arm and they check it you
know within 48 hours or and then after48 hours
but not only do they do that but you have to size
your respirator mask to your face, so they have a
regular size a large size of small size they have
different sizes because it's absolutely important
that this seals to your face perfectly and that's
the reason why they test you every single year to
make sure that you're the same size respirator
mask you do not want any of that airborne TB in
the room if you have a TB patient any of those
airborne particle

N-95 Surgical Masks

• Coming into Europe yourself it's absolutely
  important so to put this on 95 mask on I've got
  two little tapes on the inside you basically open
  up the mask put it on your chin separate the
  tapes a little bit put it,on your chin pull it
  over your face in the back position the tapes
  away from each other increase it over the bridge
  of your nose and gradually push down across your
  face to get that seal above your nose and it
  automatically feels under your chin.it is super
  uncomfortable to wear this mask and if you have a
  TB patient it is painful being in that case and I
  hope it's not a long case you're like it's sealed
  so tight that you're just constantly gone you're
  like your whole face is sweating underneath this
  mat it sucks but it's safe and that's important
  so let's go over a proper technique on putting
  this time mask on your face so personally you
  know when you get the mask out of the box it's
  flat I like to open it up and kind of crease
  where I want my nose to be I'll put my nose right
  in that crease hold down the mask underneath my
  chin and take the top string up over the top of
  my head and tie the drawstring now I won't tie it
  too tight, take these back behind your neck
  underneath your ear and again we're tying it
  tight but not too tight now your nose already has
  that pre crease that we put in.
