First time in 35 years of practice we lost power while I was doing surgery. We've had minor circuit breaker trip for 10 or 15 seconds, but this was total loss in the whole area. We have backup lights (flash lights) and the anesthetic machine is manual while the monitors all have battery backup.
I was towards the end of a spay just getting ready to close. Everything went fine but this just reinforced how much we depend on electricity :B

Glad everything turned out well. This does remind everyone that just because you flick the switch doe not guarantee that the lights are going to come on.
