I clean the surgical suites after each surgery, organize room for next procedure. I put blankets in the blanket warmers and fluid in the warmers. I stock the sub sterile with masks scrub brushes and other supply needed. I take trash out to the rubbish shoot and the recycling out to the dumpster. I exchange empty oxygen tanks for full tanks and clean the full tanks before putting them away. If there is a specimen that needs to go to lab I'll bring to lab.
