Question

A CST is working with a neurosurgeon on a left frontal craniotomy to remove a meningioma. He has just made the scalp incision when a unit charge nurse quickly enters the OR saying, “CSP just called, and there was a malfunction of the steam sterilizer last night. The sterilizer chart doesn’t confirm that these instruments went through a complete cycle even though the biological indicators have a negative reading.”
What steps should the OR team take at this point?
