What Does a Surgical Technician Do on the Cardiovascular Team?

We are proud to introduce Ochsner Surgical Technician Erica Batiste.
As a surgical technician, Erica sets up the surgical tables with sterilized instruments and ensures that everyone communicates and understands the procedure and what needs to happen. Each case is unique and specific, and Erica makes sure all of the required instruments are properly sterilized and ready for the surgeon.
Thank you to Erica and all surgical technicians who play a critical role on the surgical team. Are you a Surgical Technician? Explore lifesaving careers on the Ochsner team.
