surgical technologist

Also called surgical room technician,
operating room technician

The surgical technologist works in the operating room, prepares the patient for surgery, prepares the instruments and passes instruments during surgery, among other things. There are also nurses that work in the operating room, but they are called scrub nurses or operating room nurses.

Peer comment(s):

agree Elena Sgarbo (X) : Surgical technologist is the closest to "instrumentadora", although I've worked as a doc in Argentina and Italy, and some functions of the "instrumentadora" overlap with those of the "scrub nurse" here in the US - but overall, surgical tech is safest :-)
