surgical teams

Surgical teams are groups of healthcare professionals working together to perform operations. The team typically includes a surgeon, who leads the procedure, and one or more surgical assistants who help. An anesthesiologist manages pain and sedation, ensuring the patient is comfortable and safe. Nurses, both scrub and circulating, support the team by preparing tools and managing the operating room environment. Each member has specialized training, and their collaboration is crucial for a successful surgery, focusing on patient safety and effective outcomes. Together, they ensure that the procedure runs smoothly and that the patient receives comprehensive care.
