A Manual for Operation Theater Technicians, 2/E for OTT Diploma Students | Step-by-Step OT Techniques, CSSD, Anesthesia, Hand Hygiene and BLS/CPR Guide

A Manual for Operation Theater Technicians, 2/E is a complete, syllabus-aligned guide built for students pursuing the Diploma in Operation Theater Technicians. Structured across two parts and six chapters, it takes you from foundational general anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and microbiology through to hands-on operation-theater technique, anesthesia support, hand hygiene, and life support skills. Every procedure chapter opens with a Chapter Outline box and works through numbered, illustrated step-by-step sequences - handwashing and surgical scrubbing, gowning, and gloving are each broken into clearly labelled steps with accompanying figures - paired with two-column Steps/Rationale and Principles/Reasons tables that explain the reasoning behind every technique, not just the routine. This second edition, previously published as Textbook for Operation Theater Technicians, keeps its simple, easy-to-follow language while covering the full surgical care pathway an OT technician trainee needs, from preoperative skin preparation through postoperative dressing care. Who This Book Is For: Operation Theater Technician (OTT) Diploma Students: covers the complete syllabus prescribed for the Diploma in Operation Theater Technicians, from basic sciences through OT-specific technique. OT Practitioners: a ready technique and rationale reference for gowning, gloving, sterilization, instrument handling, and anesthesia-support routines used on the job. Staff Nurses in Surgical Wards: reinforces perioperative hand hygiene, infection control, and postoperative care protocols relevant to ward-based surgical nursing. Nursing Educators: a structured teaching resource with chapter outlines, illustrated procedure steps, and rationale tables ready for classroom and skills-lab instruction. Why This Book Helps: Breaks every core OT procedure into numbered steps: handwashing, gowning, and gloving are each shown as illustrated, sequential steps so technique is never ambiguous. Explains the reasoning, not just the routine: Steps/Rationale and Principles/Reasons tables connect each action to the infection-control or safety principle behind it. Builds the full foundation needed for OT practice: anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and microbiology are covered before technique, so you understand the science behind the procedure. Consolidates anesthesia-support knowledge: Boyle's machine, anesthesia work stations, anesthesia gases, and preanesthetic checkup are covered alongside core OT technique. Prepares you for emergencies, not just routine cases: a dedicated chapter on Basic Life Support and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation covers Code Blue response, CPR procedure, and Advanced Trauma Life Support. Key Features: Divided into 2 parts and 6 chapters spanning general anatomy/physiology, pathology/pharmacology/microbiology, surgical anatomy, OT/CSSD/anesthesia technique, hand hygiene and infection control, and BLS/CPR. Illustrated, numbered step-by-step procedures for handwashing, surgical scrubbing, gowning, and gloving, each with labelled figures. Dedicated coverage of Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) functioning and sterile-supply handling principles. Covers hand instruments used in common surgeries, surgical positioning, needles/sutures/knots, and cauterization technique. Structured as per the latest syllabus and guidelines of the Diploma in Operation Theater Technicians program.
