* Confirming emergency equipment, oxygen, and reversal and emergency drugs are present and in date before the first case
* Coordinating with the visiting surgeon on case sequencing, positioning, and expected chair time
* Participating in office emergency drills and reviewing the team's roles during a sedation event
