    • Ensure the maintenance of a sterile environment, adhering to infection control practices and using sterile techniques during the procedure.
    • Respond promptly to any changes in the patient's condition, including complications such as arrhythmias or bleeding.
  • Monitoring and Documentation:
    • Document patient status, interventions, and changes in condition in the electronic health record (EHR) according to hospital policies.
    • Record intraoperative events, including medications, blood products, and surgical team interventions.
    • Monitor and document patient responses to anesthesia, medications, and surgical interventions, and report any concerns to the surgical team.
  • Postoperative Care:
    • Assist with the transfer of the patient from the operating room to the recovery unit or intensive care unit (ICU), ensuring stable vitals and ongoing monitoring.
    • Monitor the patient for signs of complications post-surgery, such as bleeding, infection, or arrhythmias, and take immediate action if needed.
    • Provide postoperative education to patients and families, including information on recovery, wound care, and activity restrictions.
    • Administer pain management and other medications as prescribed to promote comfort and recovery.
  • Collaboration and Communication:
    • Communicate effectively with the surgical team, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical technologists, to ensure coordinated care.
    • Collaborate with the preoperative and postoperative care teams to ensure continuity of care and address any patient concerns.
    • Participate in surgical briefings and debriefings to discuss patient care, procedure outcomes, and any improvements needed for future surgeries.
  • Emergency Response and Crisis Management:
    • Be prepared to manage critical situations, such as life-threatening arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, or excessive bleeding, during surgery.
    • Use advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) protocols and other emergency measures to stabilize patients when needed.
    • Work collaboratively with the surgical and anesthesia teams to handle unexpected complications quickly and efficiently.
  • Sterilization and Equipment Maintenance:
    • Ensure all cardiovascular surgical instruments and equipment are sterilized, functioning, and properly maintained.
    • Troubleshoot and resolve equipment malfunctions quickly to minimize delays in surgery.
    • Ensure compliance with hospital policies and industry standards for infection control, including maintaining sterile technique and using proper PPE.
  • Patient Advocacy and Support:
    • Advocate for patient safety and comfort before, during, and after surgery, ensuring the patient's well-being is the top priority.
    • Provide emotional support to patients and families, answering questions and offering reassurance about the surgery process and expected outcomes.
  • Professional Development:
    • Stay current with the latest research, techniques, and best practices in cardiovascular nursing and surgery.
    • Participate in continuing education opportunities, including certifications and training specific to cardiovascular care (e.g., CNOR, CCRN, or Cardiac Surgery Nurse certification).
    • Collaborate with colleagues to enhance the CVOR department's practices and improve patient outcomes.

The estimated annual salary for this position is approximately $100,000-$120,000 based on the national average for registered nurses in the United States. This figure may vary depending on factors such as location, experience, and qualifications.
