Familiarity with patient monitoring systems, electronic health records (EHRs), and specialized recovery equipment is essential. Strong communication, quick decision-making, and empathy help you effectively care for patients recovering from anesthesia and collaborate with surgical teams. These skills ensure patient safety, rapid response to complications, and seamless same-day surgical care.
