Surgical technologists promote maternal and neonatal patient safety during a Cesarean section (C-section) procedure by creating the sterile field, preparing a well-organized back table and Mayo stand, providing accurate surgical counts with the circulating nurse, and being prepared for possible complications. This educational video provides an example of how to arrange the sterile field, organize supplies and instrumentation, and perform the initial count with the circulating nurse.
