BeforeI help out during all stages of the surgery, starting by prepping the patient for the procedure, transporting them to the operating room, shaving areas of the body if necessary and sterilizing the patient. Prep work includes telling the patient what will be happening during surgery, keeping him/her calm and working with the anesthesiologist to put the patient under. Once the patient is under, I position the patient based on the surgeon’s recommendations and the type of surgery, padding pressure points like elbows, knees and the face and keeping body parts positioned so that circulation is not impeded.DuringDuring the surgery, I ensure that a surgeon’s instruments and tools are always in sight and within reach, to make his job easier. This requires setting out the tools ahead of time, as well as handing them to the surgeon as needed and getting out new tools if necessary. The anesthesiologist discusses with the assistant what temperature the patient should remain during surgery and the assistant sees to it that the patient stays warm or cool enough, as well as maintaining an overall safe, clean and healthy environment. I transport blood gases and blood tubes to the laboratory. I also can bring blood from the laboratory to the Operating Room for transfusion. Under the supervision of a nurse, I could take vital signs like heart rate, pulse and temperature.AfterI apply bandages, casts and coverings. The assistant transports the patient to recovery rooms and may also apply ointments, creams or other meds to wounds and surgery incisions as needed. To prepare for the next patient, I remove all used instruments and clean bedding. I ensure that all sinks, counters and other operating room surfaces are sterilized, clean and ready for the next procedure.

I aid the pharmacist in collection, organization, and evaluation of patient information. I also see to medication distribution, and provide drug information and education to the patient or consumer. I prepare, dispense, distribute, and administer medications under the direct supervision of the pharmacist. I'm responsible for preparing the prescription, retrieve, count, pour, weigh, measure, and sometimes mix the medication. Then, I prepare the prescription labels, select the type of prescription container, and affix the prescription and auxiliary labels to the container. Once the prescription is filled, I price and file the prescription, which must be checked by a pharmacist before it is given to the patient. I establish and maintain patient profiles, prepare insurance claim forms, and stock and take inventory of prescription and over-the-counter medications.
