In my previous role at a busy surgical center, I assisted in over 200 procedures, ensuring all instruments were properly sterilized and ready for use. I worked closely with surgeons and nurses to maintain a sterile field, pass instruments, and anticipate the needs of the surgical team. My attention to detail and ability to work under pressure contributed to efficient and successful surgeries.

I adhere strictly to protocols, including proper hand hygiene, wearing sterile gloves and gowns, and ensuring all instruments are sterilized according to guidelines. I also monitor the surgical team for any breaches in sterility and take immediate corrective actions. My vigilance helps prevent infections and ensures patient safety.

During a procedure, the surgeon requested an instrument not initially set up. I quickly identified the correct tool from the sterile tray and handed it over without disrupting the flow of surgery. My ability to stay calm and think on my feet ensured the surgery continued smoothly, demonstrating my adaptability and knowledge of surgical instruments.

I review the surgical schedule to understand the procedure's specifics, then prepare the necessary instruments and equipment, ensuring everything is sterile and functioning. I also verify the patient's information and surgery site with the team to prevent errors. My thorough preparation supports a safe and efficient surgical environment.

I use clear, concise verbal communication and non-verbal cues to anticipate and respond to the team's needs. I confirm instructions before acting to avoid misunderstandings and ensure everyone is aligned. My effective communication fosters teamwork and enhances patient care during critical moments.
