Video of a clinical procedure demonstrating harvesting bone marrow aspirate from a patient’s posterior iliac crest. The speaker describes palpating anatomical landmarks, marking the skin, using ultrasound to pinpoint insertion sites, and preparing the sterile field with an assistant.
So we start with just feeling around, marking out some of our landmarks. All right, so what we're doing here is we're going to be harvesting some bone marrow aspirate from the patient's posterior iliac crest, part of his pelvis. So we start with just feeling around, marking out some of our landmarks, and then I'm going to use ultrasound to pinpoint the exact locations that we're going to be working at. Then I also mark a little extra so that the person that's helping me to prep knows the wide area to make sure that they're prepping all the way around it. All right, now I'm going to step aside, and Tony's going to come in and get everything sterile and ready for us to go.
