Job Description for Certified OT Technicians
Certified surgical technologists function in non-sterile and sterile capacities by creating an optimal environment for surgical patients. According to the Association of Surgical Technologists, there are three types of operating room technicians or surgical technologists (www.ast.org). These positions are scrub surgical technologist, circulating surgical technologist and second assisting technologist. Each post is responsible for different duties and requires separate skills.
Scrub Surgical Technologist
A scrub surgical technologist assists a surgeon by handling all the instruments, supplies and equipment during surgery. These operating room technicians know the procedure and can anticipate what the surgeon may need during it. Part of their job is to put the gowns and gloves on the surgeon and surgical assistants. Scrub surgical technologists set up a sterile operating room environment and are responsible for maintaining that field. Their chief job is to make sure the patient has the best possible care throughout the surgery.
Circulating Surgical Technologist
The tasks of a circulating surgical technologist include obtaining additional supplies, instruments and any equipment that is needed while a surgery is in progress. These surgical technologists monitor what's going on in the operating room and continually assess what the patient or operating team needs at any given moment. Preparing the patient's skin prior to draping and reassuring the patient are part of the job description. Additional duties include using consent forms to verify the surgical procedure that is going to be performed, checking patients' charts and assisting anesthesiologists.
Second Assisting Technologist
The role of the second assisting technologist is to help the surgeon and first assistant with various technical tasks during a surgery. Their jobs may include holding instruments under the direction of a surgeon, sponging or suctioning the site of an operation, cutting suture material and applying wound dressings. They do not cut, clamp or suture tissue.
Required Skills
Technicians working in an operating room environment need to be emotionally stable and quickly respond to a surgeon's needs during an operation without being told what to do. Certified operating room technicians also need to be conscientious, organized and orderly, and have the manual dexterity to manipulate surgical instruments. Professionals are expected to be familiar with surgical procedures and keep current on advances in the field.
