Hi,

for infected case cleaning, i used peritonitis and an ex lap where there was a rupture and necrotic tissue.

for tourniquets i used having to place a second IV under anaesthesia in a C section, and some distal limb injuries.

hope this helps

For the tourniquets we just used them on a couple of limb stitch ups which we woulnt normally use them for but actually vet found quite useful, and a mass removal on a limb too!! For contaminated I think we used similar - peritonitis cases etc but even a stitch up that needs debriding maybe a bite wound etc, or a mass that is a bit oozy and possible infected??

We just have a few bits left on our portfolio too and are just using discussion as time ticking till it all needs to be in.,

Hi,

For skill 2 D i cleaned the ops room following a stitch up and an intestinal torsion due to draining the intestinal contents. These ops were classified as contaminated ops and therefore it was accepted.

As for skill 8 B i think i did an assimilation where my clinical coach asked me what it would be used for, and where and why would it used it.

Hope this helps xx
