During a complex surgery, the power went out unexpectedly. I remained calm and quickly assisted in setting up backup lighting. I ensured all instruments were sterile and ready for the surgeon's use. By maintaining composure and efficiently managing the situation, we were able to continue the procedure without compromising patient safety or the integrity of the surgery.

I follow strict protocols for sterilization, including using autoclave machines and checking them regularly for proper function. I also inspect instruments before and after use to ensure they are free from contamination. Additionally, I adhere to the 'no-touch' technique to prevent any breaches in sterility during setup and operation.

I regularly attend workshops, seminars, and continuing education courses. I also subscribe to medical journals and participate in online forums related to surgical technology. By engaging with peers and experts, I stay informed about advancements and integrate new knowledge into my practice to enhance patient care.

I prioritize tasks based on their urgency and relevance to patient safety and the surgeon's needs. I ensure that critical tasks like instrument setup and patient monitoring are completed first. Effective communication with the surgical team also helps in coordinating tasks efficiently, ensuring a smooth and safe procedure.

Teamwork is crucial in the surgical setting as it ensures patient safety and efficient workflow. Effective communication, mutual respect, and clear roles are essential. By working collaboratively, we can anticipate each other's needs, respond quickly to changes, and maintain a high standard of care, ultimately benefiting the patient.
