Question job title

I applied to an online ad and it was for "LPN Perioperative anesthesia supplies" what type of job could this be?
this is a large trauma hospital so I can't imagine what a LPN would be doing in this area. Any ideas??
The area of pre-op is interesting to me but I am not sure what pre-op nurses do, could someone enlighten me on the pre-op nursing duties.

Thank you in advance!

Sounds like some type of Anesthesia tech to me, helping keep the anesthesia carts stocked, assisting anesthesia with turnover of machines (changing out tubing etc)

God luck

It's an anesthesia tech position from the sound of it. And they are actually allowed to do some nursing duties with it as well where i work.
