I don’t know the step answer but in real life it varies by hospital/specialty/procedure

@Laradd, on the software after the consultant, accepts the patient, you have to order pre-op list which includes NPO, Type and crossmatch, PT, PTT, IV access, NS, order aortic aneurysm repair/ thoracotomy.
For the steps involved in surgical consults and subsequent orders; Please refer to slide # 33 in this presentation.
