- 8. Need For Maintenance of Record • Part of Life. • Anaesthesia – Critical period – Dynamic process. Game of “passing the buck”. • Conduct of Anaesthesia • Patient & Anaesthesiologist safety • Future conduct of Anaesthesia
- 9. Contd. Research & Study Statistics Medico legal Courts take serious note of poor record Require by law If you did it, you must record it Not recorded – not done
- 10. Types of Anaesthesia Record • Manual • Computer based connected to HIMS • AAR- Automated Anaesthesia Record • AIMS- Anaesthetic Information Management System • EAR- Electronic Anaesthesia Record • CPRA- Computer Based Patient Record for Anaesthesia Pre op to post op period
- 11. Manual Anaesthesia Record • Leaves to Paper • Observe, watch and write • Record as soon as you do • Delay will dilute / miss / forget crucial points – credibility lost • Adjust for convenience • Smoothening / Normalize • Spoilation
- 12. Contd. Consumes 15% - 20% of time Continuous watching / observing Patient & Monitors Record every drug / fluid & event Record vitals every 5 min. – 15 min. Cumbersome but write legibly May not get time Patient care more important

- 17. AUDIT OF ANAESTHESIA RECORD 25% NO RECORD 45% INCOMPLETE OR ILLEGIBLE IN ALL OR SOME RESPECT 30% COMPLETE & LEGIBLE = 100%
- 19. Computer Based Anae. Record • Robust real time second to second • Paperless Hospitals • Advanced countries • Saves time • Full details from Pre Op to Post Op • Online entries of drugs • Automated recording of monitor data
- 21. Contd. • More accurate • More details & more reliable • Easily retrievable • Connected to HIMS • Get access any where for any one • Cannot change / alter entries • Cannot normalize / smoothen • BUT Spoilation: Intentional distruction / mutilation/ concedment / alteration of evidence

- 35. Comparison of automated and manual anesthesia record keeping
- 36. Comparision Contd. • Anesthesia task Manual anesthesia Automated • main categories records anesthesia records • 1. Recording anesthesia 21,9 % 12,9 % • 2. Direct patient care 29,0 % 34,9 % • 3. Supplementary activities 29,4 % 30,1 % • 4. Watching surgery 7,5 % 9,0 % • 5. Communication 12,2 % 13,1 % • Total 100 % 100%
- 37. Future • Bar Coded ETTs. • Bar Coded pre filled Syringes for different Medicines. • Bar Coded I.V. Fluids. • Specially Created Key Board • Special Pencil • Touch Screen • Speech Recognising Computer
- 38. PREOPERTIVE INFORMATION • Patient Identity – Name / I.D No. / gender – Demographic details – Date of birth / Age • Assessment and risk factors – Date of assessment – Assessor, where assessed – Weight (kg), [height (m) optional] – Basic vital signs (BP, HR) – Medication, incl. contraceptive drugs – Past History of Illness, Family History & Allergies
- 39. Contd. – Other problems – Addiction (alcohol, tobacco, drugs) & Habits – Experience of Previous Anaesthesia – Nature of Surgery – Examination of Patient – Potential airway problems – Prostheses, teeth, crown, contact lens – Examination of Patient – Investigations as per Protocol – Cardio Respiratory fitness • As per protocol & sos – Optimise the Condition – Categorise ASA risk grading
- 40. Contd. – Informed Consent • Separate for Anaesthesia • Individualise • Highlight Specific Problems & discuss plans, pros & cons • Speak to Patient's Relative ASA Grading +/- comment • Signature / Witness – Plan for Anaesthesia Technique – Order Pre-medication • Urgency – Scheduled-listed on routine list – Urgent-resuscitated, not on a routine list – Emergency-not fully resuscitated
- 41. In OT / Induction room • Checks – Nil by mouth – Consent – Premedication, type and effect – Drugs including blood & fluids, accessories like ETT, Ambu, Laryngoscope • Place and Time – Place – Date, start and end times • Personnel – All anaesthetists named – Operating surgeon – Qualified assistant present – Duty consultant informed
- 42. In OT, before Sx Check • Check the Anaesthesia Machine, Gas Connections, Airway and breathing system, Monitors – Record their proper working. • Sx planned • Vital signs recording/charting • Drugs and Fluids • Blood / Blood product availability • Patient position and attachments • Selection of Vein for I.V. Line – Record.
- 43. Intra Operative Record • Most Important & Most Difficult. • Record Position of Patient. • Record Vital Signs Every 5 Minutes. • Record Administration of Drugs. • I.V. Fluids, Blood & Blood products. • Record Batch No. Exp. Date & Manufacturer of all Drugs. • Mark Important Landmarks of Surgery
- 44. Contd. • Difficult - To Administer Anaesthesia. - Keep Watch on Patient. - Prepare Drugs. - Keep Record Simultaneously. • If Record Keeping Delayed - -Facts Missed. -Credibility Diluted.
- 45. POSTOPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS • Drugs, fluids and doses • Analgesic techniques • Special airway instructions, incl. oxygen • Monitoring
- 46. Summary • Duty bound to care & record • Pre op – intra op – post op • Recording is mandatory • Not recorded = not done • Delay will miss & cost you & your pt. more • Till AAR come do manual recording
- 47. Carry home message • Keeping records is must. • If you did it, write it down. • If you don’t write it down, it didn’t happen. • Courts believe more in what you have written than what you Say. • Keep Records for all the Cases. • Only Detailed Record for case under consideration = “Fabrication of Evidence”.
