  • Monitor and document patient responses to anesthesia, medications, and surgical interventions, and report any concerns to the surgical team.

• Postoperative Care:

  • Assist with the transfer of the patient from the operating room to the recovery unit or intensive care unit (ICU), ensuring stable vitals and ongoing monitoring.
