Surgical Techniques

Different skilled staff work together in an Operation Theatre (OT) to ensure smooth surgeries.
Key staff who help include:
1. Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons: Perform surgical procedures with expertise.
2. Anaesthetists: Administer anesthesia and monitor the patient’s vital signs.
3. Nurses (OT Nurses/Scrub Nurses): Prepare instruments, maintain sterility, and assist surgeons during operations.
4. Technicians and Attendants: Sterilize equipment, manage OT setup, and provide general support.
Each role is crucial for patient safety and successful operations.

The Theatre Sterile Supply Unit (TSSU) is a dedicated sub-area in the operation theatre complex.
It stores sterile surgical items like drapes, sponges, gloves, and gowns.
Strict temperature and humidity control prevent contamination and maintain sterility.
Staff rooms are for staff rest, not storage of sterile items.
The holding area is where patients wait before surgery.
PASU is for patient recovery after anesthesia, not for storage.
Therefore, the correct answer is Theatre Sterile Supply Unit (TSSU).

Operation Theatres are divided into zones to maintain sterility and workflow.
The clean zone acts as a bridge between the protective zone and the sterile/aseptic zone.
This area is used for final preparation before entering the sterile zone.
The protective zone is the general working area, while the aseptic zone is the sterile core.
Disposal zone is for waste, not for connection between zones.
Therefore, the correct answer is Clean zone.
