I have extensive experience in handling and preparing surgical instruments. In my previous role, I was responsible for ensuring all instruments were sterilized and organized according to surgical protocols. I am familiar with various types of instruments, their specific uses, and the importance of maintaining their integrity to prevent contamination.

I manage stress by staying focused and maintaining clear communication with the surgical team. I prioritize tasks and remain adaptable to changes. My approach involves deep breathing exercises and visualizing successful outcomes, which helps me stay calm and efficient under pressure.

I ensure patient safety by meticulously following surgical protocols and double-checking all equipment and supplies. I also maintain constant vigilance during procedures, anticipating potential issues and addressing them proactively. Clear communication with the surgical team is crucial to prevent errors and ensure a safe environment for the patient.

I regularly attend workshops, seminars, and continuing education courses to stay abreast of new surgical technologies and procedures. I also subscribe to relevant journals and participate in online forums to discuss and learn about the latest advancements in the field.

In a previous role, I encountered a malfunctioning surgical instrument during a procedure. I quickly identified the issue, communicated it to the surgical team, and swiftly replaced the instrument with a backup. This experience reinforced the importance of being prepared for unexpected situations and having contingency plans in place.
