The circulator nurse is responsible for managing the nursing care of the patient within the operating room, and coordinating the needs of the surgical team with other care providers necessary for completion of surgery. The circulator nurse observes the surgery and the surgical team from a broad perspective and assists the team to create and maintain a safe and comfortable environment for the patient. The circulator nurse assesses the patient’s condition before, during, and after the operation to ensure an optimal outcome for the patient. Circulating during surgery is a perioperative nursing function. The role of the circulator may not be delegated to a UAP, Licensed Practice Nurse or Licensed Vocational Nurse.
