I have extensive experience in the operating room, having worked with a diverse range of surgical procedures including orthopedic, cardiovascular, and general surgeries. My role involves preoperative preparation, assisting surgeons during operations, and postoperative care. I am adept at managing surgical instruments, maintaining sterile environments, and ensuring patient safety throughout the procedure.

Handling stress in the OR involves maintaining a calm demeanor and focusing on the task at hand. I prioritize clear communication with the surgical team and ensure that all procedures are followed meticulously. Regular breaks and self-care practices also help me manage stress effectively, allowing me to perform at my best during critical moments.

Ensuring patient safety is paramount. I verify patient identity, surgical site, and procedure multiple times before and during surgery. I also monitor vital signs continuously and anticipate potential complications. Collaborating closely with the surgical team and adhering to strict infection control protocols further enhance patient safety.

I stay updated through continuous education, attending workshops, seminars, and conferences. I also regularly review medical journals and participate in online forums to discuss new techniques and technologies. This proactive approach ensures that I am well-informed and can apply the latest advancements to improve patient care.

During a complex surgery, we encountered an unexpected complication that required immediate action. I quickly assessed the situation, collaborated with the surgical team, and implemented an alternative approach. By maintaining composure and effective communication, we were able to stabilize the patient and complete the surgery successfully.
