OTA-Lehrbuch

The profession of OTA is versatile, interesting, and varied. This textbook accompanies trainees throughout their three-year training and is aligned with the current training and examination regulations as well as the current Anesthesia Technical and Surgical Technical Assistant Act (ATA-OTA-G) from December 14, 2019. Each chapter begins with the respective competency focuses.

Systematically, all areas of training are covered, including hygiene, instrument handling, quality management, various work settings such as emergency rooms, endoscopy, and central sterile supply department (CSSD), as well as the necessary legal foundations. Case studies, key points, and practical tips facilitate learning, while numerous illustrations and graphics clarify relationships. A summary at the end of each chapter and questions help to review what has been learned.

New in the 3rd edition: a brief overview of anatomy related to all surgical topics, summaries after each subject area, definitions of specific terms, and current topics.

Ideal for learning without prior medical and nursing knowledge: for trainees for daily use and successful learning, and for educators and lecturers as the perfect preparation for teaching! Recommended by the German OTA School Sponsorship Association.
