What Do Surgical Techs Do?

Surgical technologists are the first people to enter the operating room before a surgery. They prepare and sterilize the location and layout all needed equipment, taking a careful count of everything being used. Once everything is sterile and prepared, the surgical tech acts as an aid for the surgeon and surgical assistant. While continuing to maintain the sterility of the room, they may also be asked to help prep and give medications, assist with retraction of tissues from the patient, and pass instruments to the surgeon as needed. Postoperatively, surgical techs count every tool and device used once again, to ensure nothing was left inside the patient. They may also help with sutures and to disinfect the incision site. Finally, they help with the proper disposal of all gauzes, drapes, and syringes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Surgical Tech, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Surgical Tech, you need a solid understanding of surgical procedures, sterile techniques, and anatomy, generally supported by completion of an accredited surgical technology program and certification (such as CST). Familiarity with surgical instruments, operating room equipment, and electronic health record systems is commonly required. Attention to detail, effective communication, and the ability to remain calm under pressure are valuable soft skills in this role. These competencies are crucial for ensuring patient safety, supporting surgical teams, and maintaining efficient operating room workflows.

What are some common challenges a Surgical Tech may face in the operating room, and how can they be addressed?

Surgical Techs often encounter challenges such as managing the fast pace of surgeries, maintaining strict sterility, and adapting quickly to unexpected changes during procedures. These challenges can be addressed by staying organized, proactively communicating with the surgical team, and continuously honing technical skills through ongoing education and hands-on experience. Building strong teamwork and keeping calm under pressure also help Surgical Techs excel and ensure patient safety in the operating room.
