Surgery techs - let me pick your brain!

Yesterday our hospital owner/lead doctor appointed me as lead surgery tech. I had been lead surgery tech in my previous clinic, so this is something I am very excited about.

He challenged me to find away a way to make our surgery days more efficient. Our surgery days are twice a week and we typically perform four a day (spays, neuters, gastropexies, mass removals, amputations, etc). Dentals are performed on other days. We occasionally add on a sedation as well.

Our surgical staff is the surgeon, the tech, and an assistant.

What are some things that you do in your hospital that help the surgeries flow well?
