Tips and decision-making aids for surgical technology training

If you work in surgical technology, you have a great deal of responsibility. They take on the planning and organization of various operations and prepare the operating theatre for the upcoming procedure. Specialists in surgical technology are responsible for a sterile and aseptic environment in the operating theater. They monitor all technical instruments and hand the necessary instruments to the surgeons during the operation. In the event of an unplanned incident during the operation, they must be able to react quickly and correctly. These reactions are often life-saving. For this reason, surgical technicians are expected to have very good perceptive faculties and a high level of concentration.

After the operation, they are responsible for cleaning and sterilizing the operating theatre and instruments in accordance with regulations. Emergency patients are also sometimes cared for by surgical technicians, as they were formerly known. Training to become a surgical technology specialist takes three years and is completed at higher technical college level. Various internships are completed during the training. In addition to theoretical lessons, practical training is also often provided.
