  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Communicate effectively with the surgical team, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical technologists, to ensure coordinated care.
