The Surgical Team | Surgeon, Anesthesiologist, First Assist, Scrub Nurse, & More

Thanks for watching! Which surgical team member do you want to be in the future? Let us know with a comment below!

Cantankerous means bad-tempered, argumentative, and uncooperative. I googled the definition for all of us cuz I know 99.9% of us don’t know

This is so interesting! Greys anatomy doesn’t really give recognition to other positions, and makes surgeons look like they do every single thing. Thanks for the vid!

Can you do “So you Want to Be An Anesthesiologists”? Please?

As a surgical tech I think it’s also important for people to know that the “surgical nurse” isn’t all to common as it’s the certified surgical technologist(CST) who does this. No one really knows who we are but we do so much in co-op with the surgical team

Do so you want to be a anesthesiologists

Surgery does but from the Anesthesiologist perspective. I love how anesthesia works and what needs to be done to keep the patient sleep, breathing, and when to wake them. Hoping to go to med school one day.

So do you wanna be a Zumba teacher?

I never though I could enjoy surgery before doing my surgical intership, now it’s all i can think about. I am obsessed.

So the surgeon gets all the glamour like a quarterback on a football team but the surgeon needs the other team members just like the quarterback does.

PA student here. The OR is an intriguing and unique experience that offers a world of nuances that requires adaptation. Once you get the hang of it, it's an extremely rewarding and fun time.

and last but NOT least: the clean-up crew, who have to get a room ready and clean after a procedure...😊

What fascinates me the most is the coordination and teamwork. They all work so seamlessly together, it's very VERY impressive. It's so hard to have people work as a team, I can't even imagine how stressful it must be in a surgical setting

I am a pharmacy intern work in the OR pharmacy. I hand medications to CRNA, accept returns of the meds, compound IV medications, and deliver meds to PACU and Pre OP. The pharmacist verifies the order and checks everything I do. Great video!

I just loved the way you went over it all and explained it all

Gotta say, in the operating room where I work, the anesthesiologists are considered the ‘first in command’. The surgeon may have recruited the patient for surgery but it’s the anesthesiologist that gives the final go ahead that the patient is healthy/stable enough to be operated on at this time; at least for elective surgeries. Also for urgent/emergency surgeries, I’ve seen many cases where the patient is a medical trainwreck and way too unstable to be done at a regular mid-sized hospital, so the anesthesiologist makes the call to ship them to a larger centre with better support for critical patients. Just my observations from being a circulating nurse in the O.R. :)
