current medications. Prepare patients physically and emotionally
for surgery, explaining procedures and answering questions. Ensure

medications, as prescribed by the surgical team. Verify patient

to ensure patient safety. Assist with positioning patients on the
operating table to ensure optimal access and comfort during the
procedure. Intraoperative Nursing Care: Assist with the setup of
the sterile field and ensure all surgical instruments and equipment
are ready for use. Monitor the patient’s vital signs, including
heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and blood gases during
surgery. Administer medications (e.g., anesthetics, analgesics) and
fluids as directed by the anesthesiologist or surgeon. Assist the
surgical team during complex cardiovascular procedures, such as
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair/replacement,
or other heart surgeries. Ensure the maintenance of a sterile
environment, adhering to infection control practices and using
sterile techniques during the procedure. Respond promptly to any

patient responses to anesthesia, medications, and surgical
interventions, and report any concerns to the surgical team.

anesthesiologists, and surgical technologists, to ensure
coordinated care. Collaborate with the preoperative and
postoperative care teams to ensure continuity of care and address
any patient concerns. Participate in surgical briefings and
debriefings to discuss patient care, procedure outcomes, and any
improvements needed for future surgeries. Emergency Response and
Crisis Management: Be prepared to manage critical situations, such
as life-threatening arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, or excessive
bleeding, during surgery. Use advanced cardiovascular life support
(ACLS) protocols and other emergency measures to stabilize patients
when needed. Work collaboratively with the surgical and anesthesia
teams to handle unexpected complications quickly and efficiently.
Sterilization and Equipment Maintenance: Ensure all cardiovascular
surgical instruments and equipment are sterilized, functioning, and
properly maintained. Troubleshoot and resolve equipment
malfunctions quickly to minimize delays in surgery. Ensure

infection control, including maintaining sterile technique and
using proper PPE. Patient Advocacy and Support: Advocate for
