Her point about which way is the correct way for the drape, life changing! Cant wait to do another robot case to try out this way of draping!

You DO NOT place the column drape first and risk contamination. Arms should be UNDER the robot arm and not over. Armpits are considered contaminated.

I definitely second that. Everyone has their own routine, mine is 1, 2, column, 3, 4.

Hello Everyone. I've been a licensed and certified surgical first assistant for 10 years, with DaVinci robot certification for 9 years. A moment ago I just went onto the Intuitive website and pulled up their training video to confirm before posting this. Intuitive manufactures and sell the DaVinci robot system. Always drape column first. No doubt about it. In Intuitive/DaVinci training videos online, that's exactly how they demonstrate it . Anyone who has "their own personal way of doing it" is doing it incorrectly.

I dont doubt your information. She was trained by the rep. I was new then so I wouldn't dare to tell her she's doing it wrong if it was my first day draping the robot. I wished a real davinci rep taught me. This was how she was trained and I filmed it because I wanted to remember it.

@@SURGICALTECHGEEK Please understand I'm not criticizing you at all. But I'm saying your trainer was CORRECT. You are supposed to drape the column first. I have no idea why all the people who commented on your video were telling you to drape the arms first; they are WRONG. Draping arms first is not taught by Intuitive DaVinci Reps, the manufacturer, or their training videos. I'm 100% positive because I just watched the draping and docking videos yesterday and retook the quizzes just to stay sharp. All 3 sources say drape column first. Just begin by extending the boom all the way forward from the helm so the arms are far from the column. Then drape the column first by approaching from the side. This way you don't walk between unsterile arms. Then drape the arms after you've draped the column. It seemed like at least 5 people criticized your trainer (and you) so I hope they read this comment and stop draping the wrong way. I'm just following the DaVinci Surgical First Assist videos and the Reps because if anyone knows how to properly drape the robot it would be the corporation who made the robot, right? Well, I'm sure you are much more comfortable years after this video you posted and I hope you are enjoying the career. Best wishes to you sincerely.

@@denniswhite9532 I did look back on all the comments from others and you're absolutely right. Hearing from you in a different perspective kinda made me second guess if this was even the right draping lol. Is it column or arms first which is it. And also with your resource! I'd have to check it out!!!

Contamination at its finest draping the column first. That's a BIG no no. Never drape the column first.

Aside from possibly contaminating yourself by placing the column drape first, it definitely looks like you contaminated the first arm drape you put on. And you're teaching someone.. that's concerning

@@SURGICALTECHGEEK Whoever it was, the point being, the patient’s care is priority. I saw a break in sterile technique and called it like I saw it. No, I don’t need to make a video, but thank you. Hope you all recognized it for yourselves and you all (as we all do/should be doing) learned from it and corrected it (there’s always room for improvement, and I speak for myself). Good luck

Do not drape the robot like that. That is not a good sterile technique. Going between two unsterile objects. No
