Perioperatiivsel alal töötavate operatsiooniõdede (operating room nurse) rahvusvaheline jaotus on : scrub nurse /instrument nurse – Eestis - instrumenteeriv õde - töötab steriilsel alal, ulatab kirurgile instrumente; circulating nurse – Eestis - assisteeriv õde - töötab mittesteriilsel alal, aitab instrumenteerivat õde ja operatsioonimeeskonda.
... tsirkuleeriv ehk mittesteriilsel alal töötav operatsiooniõde vastutab kirurgiliste abivahendite loendamise eest mittesteriilsel alal kirurgilise operatsiooni/ invasiivse protseduuri vältel ja raporteerib tulemustest steriilsel alal töötavale operatsiooniõele.
An operating room nurse can perform either of the two roles at a time, a scrub nurse or a circulating nurse. A scrub nurse is also called “sterile nurse”, “instrument nurse”, or “assist nurse”. ... A circulating nurse, on the other hand, is also called the “unsterile nurse” or “facilitating nurse”. They are called either of the above mentioned names because they are the facilitators of sterility but are not actually sterile during the conduction of an operation/procedure. They play an important role away from the sterile surgical team and operative site by providing necessary help, materials, and equipment that cannot be accessed by the sterile surgical team.
