Complete before inducing anaesthesia. Verify all instruments are present per the procedure tray list. Test the anaesthetic machine. Confirm monitoring equipment is working. Prepare the recovery area BEFORE surgery starts.
A pre-surgical preparation checklist for veterinary nurses and surgical technicians ensuring everything is ready before the patient enters the operating theatre. Covers patient pre-operative assessment, anaesthesia machine and drug preparation, surgical instrument verification, sterile field setup, monitoring equipment calibration, and recovery area preparation.
Veterinary surgery carries unique challenges — patients can't communicate symptoms, anaesthesia risks vary dramatically between species, and surgical complications require rapid response. Thorough pre-surgical preparation prevents the scramble for missing instruments, uncalibrated monitors, or unavailable drugs that compromise patient safety.
