A surgical technology student is completing rotation at the clinical site’s central sterile processing department. The preceptor notifies the student that a pregnant patient has just arrived in the emergency department with complaints of constant UTIs and retroperitoneal pain, and the student needs to assemble a case cart containing everything that will—or might—be needed for the case. The patient will be in the OR in 10 minutes, so the student must quickly work.   What instrument trays should be gathered for this case? What equipment must be in the room for this case? What supplies must be available for this case? Considering the type of case, what specialists need to be involved in the case?
