A CST is setting up the back table and Mayo stand while the patient is in the OR, and the anesthesia care provider is preparing to administer general anesthesia. After confirming that the external steam indicator has changed color, the CST places the basin set from the ring stand to the back table and continues moving items to their appropriate place.
