Trainees are required to document the following information:
- Patient registration details.
- Planned / actual surgical procedure.
- Consultant surgeon.
- Supervsiing consultant anaesthetist.
- Risk assessment - Parsonnet and EuroSCORE.
- The patient's medical and surgical history.
- Current medication, drug allergies and sensitivities.
- Results of laboratory and special cardiological investigations.
- Anaesthetic issues.
- A summary of the anaesthetic management.
- Preoperative, perioperative and postoperative TOE finding (where appropriate).
- A summary of the operative procedure.
- Supportive measures used in the operating theatre.
