Consider a situation in which you are called to scrub for an emergency cesarean section. What is the minimum instrumentation and equipment you should have ready when the mother is brought into the operating room? Assume that your instrument tray is open, and the Mayo stand is draped, but you have no instruments on the Mayo stand. The surgeon is ready to start; you have approximately 4 minutes to prepare for abdominal entry and removal of the baby.
