Original job description

The OR Attendant provides essential perioperative support in a high-acuity Operating Room environment by ensuring safe patient handling, timely room turnover, infection prevention compliance, equipment readiness, and rapid response to urgent, trauma, and emergency surgical needs.

The role requires specialized knowledge gained through the OR Attendant course and ongoing competency validation, and the ability to translate clinical direction, surgical service requirements, and physician preferences into safe and efficient action.

This position directly contributes to patient safety, infection prevention, OR efficiency, reduced turnover times, improved surgical flow, and effective collaboration within the interdisciplinary surgical team.

Duties And Responsibilities

Provide essential perioperative operational support to ensure safe, efficient, and uninterrupted surgical care.
Support surgical services across Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Spine, Plastics, Cardiac, Vascular, Urology, Gynecology, General Surgery, Ophthalmology, ENT, and Trauma.
Independently assess and prioritize competing demands based on:
Procedure complexity
Patient and staff safety
Surgical schedule and urgent add-on cases
Specialized equipment and supply requirements
Patient-specific needs
Surgeon/physician preferences
Real-time OR workflow
Lead procedure-specific OR readiness by coordinating:
Specialized equipment and technology
Positioning devices
Supplies and instruments
Emergency and contingency resources
Set up ORs according to procedure requirements, surgeon preference cards, patient positioning needs, hospital standards, emergency readiness requirements, and manufacturer instructions.
Verify room, equipment, and supply readiness before each procedure.
Identify and address missing, unsafe, or malfunctioning equipment and supplies to prevent delays and protect patient safety.
Anticipate and respond to changing surgical schedules, urgent/trauma/emergency cases, and competing priorities to maintain efficient case flow and timely starts.
Maintain critical supply inventory, replenish supplies, minimize waste, and escalate shortages that may affect patient care or OR operations.
Support rapid and safe case turnover to ensure the OR is fully prepared for the next patient.
Operate, inspect, prepare, and support the safe use of specialized OR equipment within the scope of the role, including:
OR tables
Suction systems
ESU equipment
C-arms
Microscopes
Positioning equipment
Other specialized perioperative technology
Identify equipment issues or hazards and initiate appropriate corrective action or escalation to RN, Team Leader, Biomedical Engineering, MDRD, or supervisor.
Follow manufacturer instructions and established safety standards when handling and operating equipment.
Apply and uphold IPAC, occupational health and safety, environmental, and OR standards during room preparation, procedures, turnover, equipment handling, and waste management.
Perform and verify appropriate decontamination, disinfection, and environmental readiness measures.
Maintain awareness of:
Sterile-field boundaries
Contamination risks
Blood and bodily fluid exposure
Hazardous materials
Environmental hazards
Equipment-handling risks
Immediately identify, stop or contain, communicate, and escalate aseptic breaches, contamination events, environmental hazards, equipment-related risks, and unsafe work practices.
Take appropriate corrective action and follow through until identified risks are resolved or transferred to the appropriate clinical leader.
Support practices that protect sterile integrity, prevent infection, and reduce risk of patient or staff harm.
Provide direct support for safe patient transport, transfer, positioning, and handling according to procedure requirements, patient-specific risks, physician direction, and established safety standards.
Respond promptly to requests from nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other members of the surgical team.
Anticipate patient-care and procedural support needs, particularly during high-acuity, trauma, emergency, and rapidly changing situations.
Open sterile supplies as directed while maintaining awareness of sterile-field requirements.
Support safe post-procedure instrument handling, waste management, and maintenance of an organized patient-care environment.
Exercise sound judgment, clinical situational awareness, and professionalism in a fast-paced environment.
Interpret limited or rapidly changing direction and translate it into timely, coordinated action.
Identify, communicate, and escalate concerns related to:
Patient and staff safety
Equipment and supplies
Infection prevention
Environmental conditions
OR workflow
Process improvement
Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to support timely case starts, safe patient transitions, efficient patient flow, and readiness for urgent and emergency procedures.
Maintain patient privacy and confidentiality and comply with all related policies and procedures.
Report and respond appropriately to confidentiality breaches, safety risks, incidents, and events in accordance with established policies.
Demonstrate sustained attention, emotional resilience, physical stamina, and professionalism when working under pressure.
Remain adaptable and responsive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
Participate in ongoing technical training, continuing education, and competency validation.
Maintain proficiency in the safe use of specialized OR equipment, procedures, and organizational standards.
Demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning, safety, quality improvement, and efficient OR operations.
