- 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:

- Provide emotional support to patients and families, answering questions and offering reassurance about the surgery process and expected outcomes.
- Professional Development:
