strumentista is not a technician but a nurse


Explanation:
Cfr. Corso di Diploma Universitario per Infermiere
Scienze infermieristiche generali cliniche

Il blocco operatorio (strutture e tecnologie)
Protocolli comportamentali degli operatori in sala operatoria per la prevenzione delle infezioni
Le figure e le funzioni dell'infermiere strumentista e dell'infermiere di sala
Accoglimento del paziente in sala operatoria (aspetti psicologici ed assistenziali)
Postura del paziente sul tavolo operatorio
Assistenza anestesiologica
Lo strumentario chirurgico
I materiali di sutura
I drenaggi
La chirurgia mininvasiva
La sterilizzazione
La formazione professionale del personale in sala operatoria

On "Tecnico strumentista" (three Google hits) see the following:
L'iscrizione è aperta a coloro che sono interessati all'acquisizione delle adeguate conoscenze della Medicina Energetica e Naturale, delle Strumentazioni Fisioterapiche e dei Massaggio.

- L'iter didattico si articola in Corsi e prevede la preparazione e l'aggiornamento del medico, dell'assistente, del terapista, degli operatori dei naturale e di quanti sono sprovvisti di una formazione pregressa e intendono avvicinarsi al settore delle medicine naturali.
Ogni corso consente un immediato utilizzo delle nozioni apprese e fornisce l'adeguato insegnamento teorico e pratico per il trattamento delle più frequenti problematiche e patologie.
http://www.valet.it/corsi/striscr.htm

The only other definition found with Google re "tecnico strumentista" is the following:

"Tecnico strumentista"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Con questa definizione si vuole intendere un tecnico capace di controllare i processi industriali attraverso la moderna strumentazione computerizzata, egli dovrà essere a conoscenza dell’Elettrotecnica, dell’Elettronica, dell’Impiantistica e della strumentazione tradizionale di base, nonché di tutti quei trasduttori che vengono normalmente usati per la misurazione di processi. Egli dovrà essere in grado di tarare e manutenere gli strumenti. Dovrà conoscere la regolazione mediante retroazione ottenuta con sistemi elettronici. Dovrà avere una certa dimestichezza con l’uso del computer per motivi tecnici, con la strumentazione virtuale e la lettura di dati nelle diverse unità di misura.
http://ifc.pi.cnr.it/news/ipsia.html

Eurodicautom translates "strumentista elettronico" as control equipment installer.

The Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique (ENglish/French) translates instrumentiste as
scrub nurse instrumentiste n.


Déf. :
Auxiliaire chirurgical, généralement féminin, dont le rôle est de tendre au chirurgien à chaque instant l'instrument dont il a besoin. (L'instrumentiste est habillé et ganté, comme le chirurgien).
[Office de la langue française, 1985]

Good luck

Surgical Technologist (ALSO theatre nurse in UK)


Explanation:
Role is both technologist and nurse. I guess equivalent to a dentist's assistant. PS they also do 'scrub' things!
