Patient, equipment, and supply preparation are demonstrated in the following types of surgeries: advanced orthopedics, cardiovascular, minimally invasive cardiac, and trauma surgery. The patient preparation, instrument and equipment set-up and assembly are demonstrated. The actual procedural stages for each surgery within the specialties are presented and reinforced in the clinical setting.
