Paperwork
-
Please record the amount of propofol you use on each patient on the form you find in the propofol bag given to you by the nurse
-
Make a copy of all your anesthesia records for your billing and your narcotic tracking
-
You will turn in your narcotic sheet with the attached charts documenting said medications
-
There is a billing collection box at SCOP in the doctor’s lounge.
Recovery
-
One physician must stay till the last patient gets their IV removed and is ready to leave
-
Typically this person is the last anesthesiologist done or SCOP 1
-
If two people are done at the same time often it should go to the person who is a lower SCOP number like SCOP 1
-
If your patient is having a more complicated postoperative course it maybe prudent to be the anesthesiologist who stays
-
Make sure to be available by phone for the staff to call you once you do leave.
