I am assigned 2 to 3 ORs a day, first thing in the morning we go and check the OR to make sure everything is stocked and that the machine is ready to go and ask if they need anything else to start the first case. I carry a pager to respond to anything that they need in between cases when I get the page that they are out my responsibility is to clean the room up put all new equipment and anything else that's needed into the room and wipe down everything for the next patient . I also have everything ready for IV placement and intubation.
