Under the supervision of the attending anesthesiologist, the resident evaluates the patient and confirms an appropriate anesthesia plan based on the individual needs of the patient (3). They closely monitor the patient’s vitalsigns, such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and body fluid balance.
Imagine this scenario: You’ve just finished anesthetizing a patient in a hospital setting, and the patient now requires transport from the operating room (OR) to the post-anesthesiacare unit (PACU). Whether the monitor readings are recorded in a vitalsign readout of the EMR is a less important factor.
Your station in the operating room consists of an anesthesia machine; a bevy of vitalsigns monitors; a computerized pharmacy cart; a cart full of syringes and equipment; and the computer which handles the hospital’s electronic medical record (EMR). The surgery will take approximately three hours. 1130 hours—The surgery ends.
This includes basic qualifications like taking blood pressure, vitalsigns, measuring heart rate, and listening with a stethoscope. Specifically, you will want to ensure that you have ann active certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support, a certification that is required for all critical care roles.
Alerts or abnormal vitalsigns and laboratory results are represented by squares and triangles, respectively. The Tower Mode view looks like this (Figure 1): Figure 1 Census View, Anesthesia Tower The Tower Mode includes a display for each individual patient (Figure 2 below).
