• OBJECTIVES
I. To set a separate ward for the care of infectious diseases, non-communicable as well as communicable (such as measles, varicella, etc.)
II. To train residents and paramedical personnel in the care of patients with communicable infectious disease.
• STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
I. Who can be admitted?
a. All patients with infectious diseases who required isolation from other patients and who cannot be admitted in the regular wards may be admitted to the infectious disease (ID) ward. These will include patients with the following illnesses:
i. Communicable
1. Measles

2. Dengue fever
3. Viral hepatitis
4. HIV
5. Staphylococcal skin infections
6. Others
II. Cohorting of patients
Since there will only be one ward for all ID patients, cohorting of patients is necessary. Only patients with the same illness may be admitted in the ID ward at any one time. E.g. if the ward already has a patient with measles, then patients with other illness such as varicella etc. may no longer be admitted.
In view of the current measles outbreak, the ID ward will prioritize admission to measles patients. Once the outbreak is controlled and the incidence of measles goes down, the admission may be offered to patients with other communicable illnesses.
III. Flow of Admission
All patients to be admitted to the ID ward are initially seen either at the emergency room or at the out-patient department. Admitting residents should specify that the patient is for admission to the ID ward after making sure that there is a vacancy. Patients who require radiographic will be brought to the radiology department on their way to the ID ward. Passage will be through the passageway between the Pedia-ER and Hydration unit. This passage will be kept open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., outside these hours, the passage will be kept locked and the key made available to those who need it (i.e. doctors, nurses, aides, etc.)

Otherwise, they are referred to nearby Health Centers for their immunization.
• The OPD-ROD examines all babies before giving immunizations. Only well babies are given vaccines.
• Those babies with problems are therefore referred to ER-ROD for further evaluation and re-scheduled to come back for immunizations.
• Once vaccinated, mothers are given baby record books for recording and future referrals. These are being filled-up by the Pediatric Residents with home instructions (follow-up, signs & symptoms to watch out for) and medications.
• Pediatric Residents is filling up 1 logbook once patient is vaccinated. Logbook contains the following information: the patient’s name; birthday; address, vaccines given.

II. Infants should start breastfeeding as soon as possible as the infant demands.
• GENERAL POLICIES ON BREASTFEEDING
Mother and Child: Mandaluyong City Medical Center’s Concern
I. MCMC has a written breastfeeding policy routinely communicated to all health care staff to promote and support breastfeeding.
II. The MBFH (Mother-Baby Friendly Hospital) Committee conducts breastfeeding training to all health care staff and carried through every six (6) months for new employees.
III. We promptly inform all pregnant patients on the benefits of breastfeeding regularly through a committee on Continuing Education Program who conducts lecture on demonstration twice a week at the OB-GYNE OPD.
IV. First and foremost is breastfeeding. All NSD babies are offered breastmilk within thirty (30) minutes to one (1) hour post-partum and six (6) to eight (8) hours post-caesarian section as soon as the mother is fully awake.
V. All mothers are taught the correct positioning / attachment in breastfeeding and strictly encouraged to maintain lactation even if they go to work or elsewhere.
VI. Breastmilk contains adequate amount of water therefore, prelacteal feedings are not indicated.
VII. One of the most important goal in promoting breastfeeding is the bonding between the mother and the child or “togetherness”, hence, Rooming-In is a MUST.
VIII. Breastfeeding is per demand and never on a time interval basis.
IX. To avoid nipple confusion, pacifiers, artificial teats and the likes are prohibited. Likewise, we strictly enforce the Milk Code.
X. Since the mother and child are our concern, we continuously monitor the breastfeeding practice after discharge through home-visits and follow-ups at our lactation center (Pediatric OPD).

• DESCRIPTION OF THE ADOPTED COMMUNITY
The Department also recognizes the importance of community involvement in promoting health and thus contributing to national development. In this view, the department has adopted a community in Mandaluyong City, with no existing health services, to provide its residents with accessible, affordable and dependable assistance in that field.
The chosen community, Barangay Daang Bakal, is located within the vicinity of the Jose Rizal College ( see attached map ), with a land area of 17.34 hectares, inhabited by 775 families, making up a total population of 4,512 by the year 2000.
The people of Barangay Daang Bakal are mostly blue collar workers, with varying educational backgrounds ranging from elementary education to vocational college, various fields of technology and specialized trade, employed in establishments not far from their residence, such as Foremost Star Garments, SUGECO, et.al. Others rely on small scale businesses such as sari-sari stores, canteens, beauty parlors, etc., to augment their income.
At the core of the community is a basketball court, which also serves as a multi-purpose recreational center, for meetings, get togethers, and the like. No church exists in the barangay so the residents worship at the nearby Don Bosco Chapel. Peace and order is maintained by a group of Barangay Tanods, who patrol the area 24 hours a day. If necessary, problems not settled at this area are referred to the nearest Police Substation. Garbage is collected nightly by a truck, without fail. Water supply is scarce since only a few residents have direct access to the city’s utility services. The rest have to depend on their more fortunate neighbors for their daily water supply, using large covered containers for storage.
Participating to the weekly medical missions dubbed as “ Pamahalaan sa Pamayanan”, held every Saturday, 8am to 3 PM since October 1998, not to mention other various missions for the San Felipe Neri Parish and the Rizal Medical Society, of which the hospital is an active member, resident physicians need little training, if at all, on handling community service projects. Patient education through seminars, interactive lectures and hands on training is of top priority, followed closely by the establishment of a Nutrition Clinic, aimed at utilizing early intervention to stop and prevent malnutrition.

I. HISTORICAL DATA AND PHILOSOPHY
The Mandaluyong City Medical Center is committed to provide health care services primarily for the indigent patients of the City of Mandaluyong. This mission is in accordance with the vision of the former Mayor Benjamin S. Abalos that “NO MAN SHALL BE DENIED ACCESS TO HOSPITALIZATION BY REASON OF POVERTY.
The hospital is the former Annette General bought by the city Government of Mandaluyong in 1984. It was first used as an Out-patient Clinic while the hospital facilities were being renovated.
In 1986, the MCMC started to operate as a fifty (50) bed secondary hospital. It was then that the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology came to be. With two consultants, Dr. Julieta C. Cadano and Dr. Evelyn O. Rondolo, and four (4) residents, the department started to serve the maternal ang child health needs of the women of Mandaluyong and its environs. In 1995, the entire hospital was physically renovated and the facilities were upgraded. Its bed capacity was increased to 104. Recognizing the need for a bigger and better hospital facilities, the Honorable President Neptali A. Gonzales has alloted P70 M. for the construction of a Multi-story Hospital Extension Building to be housed in the site of the present OPD Building. Ground breaking of the new building was held last August 25, 1999. The new management focused on the development of its human resources and medical staff through continuous training programs to achieve the desired level of patient care. With this in mind. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology applied for accreditation of service which was granted under the level II-A category by the Philippine Obstetrics and Gynecology Society in 1996. The hospital bacame Mother and Baby Friendly institution through the hardwork and perseverance of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Department of Pediatrics. Its dedication to breastfeeding is part of its commitment to provide both physical and emotional bonding between mother and child.
In 1999, the Department achieved its foremost dream of becoming a PBOG accredited residency training institution. Come year 2006, the department was again revisited and a 3-year accreditation was granted (2000-2002).
It is the purpose of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynocology to provide health care services of the highest quality guided by professional standards of ethics and morality. The department ensures that the medical staff perform their duties with the highest degree of competence and efficacy. Though the first and foremost responsibilty is the patient, the department encourages the training staff to pursue academic excellence, develop the skill to their full potential and contribute to the advancement of the specialty by conducting research studies and utilizing the research outputs for the improvement of the delivery of health care services.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE RESIDENCY TRAINING PROGRAM
This is comprehensive graduated, progressive vertical four-year training in Basic and Clinical Obsetrics and Gynecology to enable the resident trainee to render service in the specialty practice of OB-GYN, capable of providing consultancy service to the community of physicians in the locality of choice. At the end of the training, the resident should have accomplished the minimum requirement set by the Philippine Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
III. OBJECTIVE OF THE RESIDENCY TRAINING PROGRAM
The primary aim of residency training is further development of the fundamental knowledge, skill and attitude learned in the undergraduate obstetrics and gynecology in order to attain degree of competency, with emphasis on Mastery of pathophysiology as the solid basis for rational management of abnormalities affecting reproductive health and reproductive process.

• THE INTEGRATION OF ULTRASONOGRAPHY IN THE RESIDENCY TRAINING PROGRAM IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY
As early as February of 1999, the integration of untrasonography in the Residency Training Program of the department has already been conceived. In line with the view of POGS, phasing of the program includes the following:
a. Training Faculty
Ma. Rosario Laarni C. Diaz, FPOGS, FSUOG
b. Equipment and Infrastructure
Concurrent with the integration of ultrasound in the Residency Training Program, permission was sought by Dr. Diaz from the hospital administration to allow access of the department to the ultrasound machine. Presently, Saturdays are devoted to the exclusive use of the ultrasound by the department.
The department has also prioritized the acquisition of a department owned ultrasound machine as first among the new equipment to be purchased and installed in the delivery room of the new hospital building. It is hoped that with proper lobbying, adequate budget will be allocated for this.
c. Curriculum
The department is full agreement with POGS regarding the implementing guidelines towards the development of knowledge and skills of residents in accordance with their year level. To cite the curriculum advocated by POGS are as follows:
i. Year Level I
1. Understand the basic principle of the technology, ultrasonography, and design of equipment.
2. Demonstrate the functions of the different parts of the ultrasound machine and the proper care and maintenance.
3. Understand the uses, benefits, indications, limitations and hazards of the technology in the specialty and other concerns of the woman and the girl infant/child.
4. Utilized the technology in understanding normal pregnancy and the different phases of the life cycle of the woman.
5. Recognized the ultrasound pictures of the pregnant uterus, fetus and placenta as well as the pelvic organs from abdominal (pelvic) and transvaginal ultrasonography under normal conditions in the different phases of the life cycle of a woman and girl infant/child.
6. Recognized deviations from the normal that affect interpretation of results of the ultrasound examination.
ii. Year Level II
1. Recognized the ultrasound pictures/images of common pathological conditions in the different phases of life of the woman or girl infant/child as well as in pregnancy and fetal development.
2. Interpret results of the technology in the diagnosis of common pathological conditions.
3. Apply the results of technology to affirm or improve/disapprove clinical diagnosis and management.
4. Cite advantages/disadvantages of ultrasonography in diagnosis and management.
5. Compare the limitation of ultrasonography to clinical diagnosis and other technology in the diagnosis of given pathologic clinical situations.
6. Describe the procedure of ultrasound imaging and the requirement for examination.
7. Identify ethical issue/problems in the use of this technology.
iii. Year Level III
1. Demonstrate the sensitivity to patient’s concern in the performance of the basic procedures.
2. Demonstrate the proper technique of producing the images and accurate measurements in different clinical situations, normal and abnormal.
3. Demonstrate the following:
a. Proper utilization of graphs and charts
b. Proper reporting of results
4. Discuss the ethical concerns in examination and disclosure of results to patients/referring doctors.
5. Interpret the results of ultrasonography in the light of the current clinical diagnosis and management.
6. Discuss the advantages/limitations of the technology in relation to other methods of diagnosis and effects on management in a given clinical situation.
7. Describe the procedures/interventions (that have been demonstrated / observed) that can be made under ultrasound guidance.
iv. Year Level IV
1. Exhibit refinement in the basic skills in ultrasonography.
2. Interpret result of ultrasonography in critical situations requiring expeditions, clinical judgement or interventions.
3. Identify oppurtunities for research and investigation in ultrasonography.
4. Observe related or new development that improve/expand the reliability of this technology in clinical diagnosis and decision making.
5. Utilize collective data and interpretation in a research investigation/study.
The only disagreement with the POGS’ implementing guidelines is department’s belief that the development of knowledge, skills and practical application of ultrasonography in a clinical set-up cannot be achieved in a continuous three months rotation. Akin to the training of gynecologic surgeon, these faculties must be developed through a gradual but continuous process.
Because of this current set-up in the ultrasound clinic, mandates that on duty residents not tied up to clinical work be present in addition to the resident-in-charge of the case. Patients are scanned by the resident-in-charge regardless of their year level with help of the trainor. Regular didactins are given during weekdays. Interventional ultrasound as in hysterosonography cases are decked among the most senior resident.
Since the set-up is relatively new, just like the newly accredited Residency Training Program, it is hoped that after a year, the whole department can set together hopes to be able to fully implement the integration of the ultrasound in the Residency Training Program way before the POGS target date.

IV. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
In as much as the aims of surgery today are the same four centuries ago; the Department of Surgery of Mandaluyong City Medical Center adopts the teachings of Hippocrates, the author of all medical arts:
“Now a surgeon should be youthful or at any rate nearer youth than age; with a strong and steady hand which never trembles, and ready to use the left hand and as well as the right; with vision sharp and clear, and spirit undaunted; filled with pity, so that he wishes to cure his patient, yet is not moved by his cries, not to go too fast, or cut less than is necessary; but he does everything just as if the cries of pain causes him no emotion.”
V. CONCEPTS

DEPARTMENT OF ANESTHESIA
OBJECTIVES In our utmost desire to safeguard patients undergoing surgery, the Mandaluyong City Medical Center Department of Anesthesiology adopted the recommendation of the Philippines Society of Anesthesiology Standards for Safe Anaesthesia Procedure
I. MISSION / VISION
The first and foremost important component of preanaesthetic care is the continous presence of a vigilant and well-informed anaesthesiology throughout the operative period and post operative period thereafter.
II. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
HOSPITAL DIRECTOR
DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
CHAIR, DEPARTMENT OF ANESTHESIOLOGY

CHIEF RESIDENT
RESIDENTS
III. GENERAL STANDARDS
• Professional Status: The anaesthesiologist is a specialist who has received sufficient training in anaesthesiology, resuscitation, intensive care, acute pain, and chronic pain management.
• Professional Organization: Anaesthesiologists should organize themselves at local, regional and national levels, for the setting of standards of practice, supervision of training and continuing education with appropriate certification and accreditation, and general promotion of anaesthesia as an independent medical specialty.
• Training, Certification and Accreditation: Three years is the optimum period required to learn the specialty. Importance is given to learning related basic sciences, medical disciplines and development of knowledge and skill in clinical anesthesiology. This will culminate in an acquisition of a certificate of Anesthesiology Residency. The title Diplomate is conferred to one who has passed the written, practical and oral examinations given by the Philippine Board of Anesthesiology. Advanced postgraduate specialty and subspecialty training maybe pursued.
• Records and Statistics: A record of the details and course of each anaesthesia should be made and preserved with the patient's medical record. This includes details of the pre-operative assessment and the post-operative course. These data must be collated to facilitate progressive enhancement of the safety, efficiency, effectiveness, and appropriateness of the anaesthesia.
• Peer Review: Institutional, regional and/or national mechanisms to provide a continuing review of anaesthetic practice should be instituted. Critical incident reporting is encouraged as a useful mechanism in this respect. Legal safeguards of confidentiality of the review material may be appropriate and should be sought where they do not exist. Mechanisms and protocols should be developed to ensure that deficiencies in individual and collective practice are identified and rectified.
• Workload: A sufficient number of trained anaesthesiologists should be available so that each individual may practice to a high standard. Time should be allocated for professional development, administration, research and teaching.
• Personnel: An anaesthesiologist must be dedicated to each patient and must be present throughout each anaesthetic procedure (general, regional or monitored sedation). He should be responsible for the transport of the patient to the post-anaesthesia recovery facility and the transfer of care to appropriately trained personnel. The anaesthesiologist should retain overall responsibility for the patient during the recovery period and should be readily available for consultation until the patient has adequately recovered from anaesthesia.
• The anaesthesiologist should ensure, if aspects of direct care are delegated, before, during or after an anaesthetic, that the person to whom responsibility is delegated is both suitably qualified and conversant with relevant information regarding the anaesthetic and the patient.
• Facilities and Equipment: Appropriate equipment and facilities, adequate both in quantity and quality, should be present whenever anaesthesia and its recovery is undertaken. It is highly recommended that anaesthesia equipment conform to relevant national and international standards. The anaesthetic equipment must be regularly maintained and in good working condition prior to each anaesthetic procedure. Presence of alarm systems to detect hypoxic gas mixture, disconnections, leaks, overpressure is highly recommended.
• PERI-ANAESTHETIC CARE AND MONITORING
• The first and foremost important component of peri-anaesthetic care, including monitoring of the anaesthesia delivery system and the patient, is the continuous presence of a vigilant anaesthesiologist throughout the operative period.
• The standards of safe anaesthesia practice would be equivalent for any patient, whether he is under general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia or monitored anaesthesia care.
• The monitoring tasks of the anaesthesiologists include:
I. monitoring the patient
II. monitoring gas supply and anaesthesia machine
III. monitoring the anaesthesia breathing systems and ventilator.
There are three levels of monitoring, namely, routine monitoring, specialized monitoring and extensive monitoring
• PRE-ANAESTHESIA CARE
• The patient must be evaluated by an anaesthesiologist prior to induction of anaesthesia.
• The anaesthesiologist must ensure that all necessary equipment is in satisfactory working condition prior to the induction of anaesthesia.
• The anaesthesiologist must ensure that assistance is available and that the assistant(s) have been instructed in or are competent at the necessary tasks.
• MONITORING DURING ANAESTHESIA
• Oxygenation
I. Oxygen supply
a. Must be available and adequate to include a reserve supply.
b. The integrity of the oxygen supply must be assured.
c. When nitrous oxide or other supplemental gases are used, the concentration of oxygen in the inspired gas should be checked constantly during the anaesthetic conduct.
d. An oxygen supply failure alarm and a device protecting against the delivery of a hypoxic gas mixture are highly recommended.
e. A system must be used to prevent misconnection of gas sources.
II. Oxygenation of the patient
a. Tissue oxygenation should be monitored whenever practicable by visual examination. Adequate illumination and exposure of the patient should be ensured unless appropriate monitor is used.
b. The continuous use of a quantitative monitor of oxygenation, such as Pulse Oximetry, is highly recommended.
• Airway and Ventilation
I. Adequacy of airway and ventilation should be continuously monitored by observation and auscultation whenever practicable. Movements of the reservoir bag should be observed. Continuous monitoring with a precordial, pretracheal or esophageal stethoscope is highly recommended.
II. Confirmation of the correct placement of the endotracheal tube and the adequacy of ventilation by continuous measurement and display of carbon dioxide waveform and concentration (Capnography) is highly recommended.
III. When mechanical ventilation is employed, a "disconnect alarm" should be used throughout the period of mechanical ventilation.
• Circulation
I. Cardiac Rate and Rhythm
a. The circulation must be monitored continuously. Palpation or registration of the pulse and / or auscultation of the heart sounds should be continuous.
b. Use of a plethysmograph, (as a stand-alone or as a component of pulse oximetry) or an electrocardiograph are highly recommended.
c. A functional defibrillator must be readily accessible in the OR complex.
II. Tissue Perfusion
a. Adequacy of tissue perfusion should be monitored continually by clinical examination. Continuous monitoring with a plethysmograph or capnograph is highly recommended.
III. Blood Pressure
a. Arterial blood pressure should be monitored at appropriate intervals, usually at least every five (5) minutes, and more frequently if indicated -by clinical circumstances.
b. Continuous display of arterial pressure is encouraged in appropriate cases.
• Temperature
I. Body temperature should be monitored during anaesthesia and surgery. A continual measurement is highly recommended in patients in whom change in temperature is anticipated, intended or suspected.
• Depth of Anaesthesia
I. The depth of anaesthesia should be regularly assessed through clinical parameters and measurements.
II. Measurements of inspired and expired concentrations of gases and volatile agents are encouraged.
• Neuromuscular Function
I. Whenever neuromuscular blocking drugs are administered, the use of a peripheral nerve stimulator is recommended.
II. Recovery from neuromuscular blockade must be assessed clinically and if possible, with the use of peripheral nerve stimulator.
III. Reversal of neuromuscular blockade is recommended whenever appropriate.
• POST-ANAESTHESIA CARE
• Facilities and Personnel
I. All patients who have had an anaesthetic affecting central nervous system function and/or loss of protective reflexes should remain where anesthetized or be transported to a location specifically designated for post-anaesthesia recovery.
II. The anaesthesiologist is responsible for the transport of patient and transfer of care to appropriately trained personnel.
III. The anaesthesiologist retains overall responsibility for the patient during the recovery period and must be readily available for consultation until the patient has adequately recovered from the anaesthetic.
IV. Minimum requirements for a post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) are:
a. suitable beds capable of head down tilt
b. oxygen. supply and appropriate delivery equipment
c. emergency cart
d. cardiac monitor and defibrillator
e. ventilator
f. easy and rapid communication to summon medical help
g. monitoring equipment: pulse oximetry, non-invasive blood pressure measurement, temperature probes

VI. All patients must be evaluated by anaesthesiologist before discharge from the PACU
• Monitoring
I. All patients should be observed and monitored in a manner appropriate to the state of their nervous system function, vital signs and medical condition, with emphasis on oxygenation, ventilation and circulation.
II. Pulse oximetry is highly recommended.
• REMOTE ANAESTHESIA
• This pertains to the administration of anaesthetics outside the operating room suites. All patients in these areas who are given an anaesthetic are entitled to the equivalent standards of care and monitoring during anaesthesia and recovery as they would receive within the operating room. These areas are:
I. obstetric suites: labor room, delivery room
II. radiology: CT Scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging
III. radiotherapy
IV. endoscopy rooms
V. emergency room
VI. dental surgery
VII. electroconvulsive therapy
• Suitable adaptations of techniques and equipment to monitor patient care are required in these areas since close physical monitoring is n ot always possible due to specific hazards.

Principles
I. The pre-operative consultation should (where possible) be performed by the anaesthesiologist who will be giving the anaesthetic. Where this is not practical a mechanism must be available for communicating with the anaesthesiologist.
II. The timing of the consultation should leave an adequate interval preoperatively to consider the many factors, allow appropriate tests, seek advice and prepare equipment.
III. Emergency assessment may be necessary but it should not jeopardize the,full physical assessment prior to surgery.
• Statement of Patients' Rights and Responsibilities
The Specialty aims to develop and maintain the highest possible standards of practice, teaching and research in anesthesiology, intensive care and other disciplines. Medical management is a partnership between the physician and the patient.
The anaesthesiologist has certain responsibilities, but the patient also has certain rights and responsibilities. These include, but are not limited to
I. Patients have the right to:
a. be treated with care, consideration, and dignity
b. receive appropriate care

d. consider the ability to meet financial obligations in relation to care and therapy.
• Minimum Facilities for Safe Anaesthesia Practice
Standards of anaesthesia equipment will be determined by the designated hospital committee, in cooperation with the chairman of the anesthesiology department.
The specialist anaesthesiologist is obliged to observe every mechanism to ensure the availability, use, maintenance, and purchase of monitors and equipment which conform with current national and international standards.
• GENERAL PRINCIPLES
• Anaesthesia should only be administered by an appropriately trained and qualified medical practitioner (depending upon regional variations). Trainees in anaesthesia should be supervised by the consultant anaesthesiologist.
• All patients should have a pre-anaesthetic consultation with a trained anaesthesiologist, preferably the person administering the anaesthesia.
• All patients will be monitored by the anaesthesiologist during the procedure with the best facilities available according to resources.
• Adequate staffing of the operating suite will be available to assist in the conduct of the anaesthetic.

• Minimum Assistance Required for Safe Conduct of Anaesthesia
The presence of trained assistants during the conduct of anaesthesia is a major contributory factor to safe patient management. The assistant must have undertaken appropriate training to provide useful support.
I. Principles
a. The presence of trained assistants is essential for safe conduct of anaesthesia.
b. This requires that:
i. An assistant be present during the preparation and induction of anaesthesia
ii. They remain under the direction of the anaesthesiologist until no longer needed
iii. They be available at short notice intraoperatively
iv. They be present at the conclusion of the anaesthetic
II. Deployment of Assistants

c. Duties are specified in job descriptions.
d. While assisting the anaesthesiologist, the assistant is wholly responsible to this anaesthesiologist and the care of patient at that point in time, and he/she should not attend to other activities.
e. Assistants must be available for both elective and emergency surgery at all locations where anaesthesia is given.
• Standards for Conduct of Major Regional Anaesthesia
I. General Principles
a. Major regional anaesthesia is a technique which can produce significant physiological changes or local anaesthetic toxicity.
b. It should be undertaken only by suitable, qualified, adequately experienced and trained medical practitioners or by supervised trainees.
c. An understanding of the anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and complications of regional anaesthesia techniques, and the ability to promptly treat those complications, are mandatory.
d. The situation of one person assuming dual responsibility for performing the regional anaesthesia and the surgery is not sanctioned.
e. Major regional anaesthesia entails the presence of secure intravenous access prior to performing the anaesthesia and on-going monitoring with all the facilities available according to resources, laid down in the Standards.
f. The anaesthesiologist shall remain in attendance throughout the procedure, or until the chances of toxicity are minimal, the block is successful and vital signs are stable. In addition, the anaesthesiologist must be aware that careful observations must continue as circumstances change in time and critical incidents occur even after long stable periods.
II. Epidural Analgesia in Labor and Delivery
Epidural analgesia for labor is safe and effective provided that:
a. Epidural anaesthesia must be performed by trained anaesthesiologists or by anaesthesia trainees under direct supervision.
b. Such person must be:
i. Available to supervise the on-going management, or delegate that responsibility to another equally trained person following a formal endorsement of the patient.
ii. Competent to deal with complications.
c. An appropriately trained assistant must be available to assist the anaesthesiologist while performing the epidural block.
d. Once epidural analgesia has been safely established, further doses of analgesia agents may be administered by trained medical staff provided that:

iii. staff can detect adverse reactions immediately.
f. A detailed record of the procedure and on-going management must be kept.
g. An intravenous infusion must be inserted prior to epidural insertion and must be continued for the duration of the block.
h. The management responsibility remains with the anaesthesiologist or his delegated colleague.
• Principles for the Care of Patients who are given drugs to produce an Unconscious State
I. Introduction
When a drug is given to produce an unconscious state, there is a risk of producing effects which require management by an appropriately trained medical practitioner.
Some of these effects can be life threatening because of:
a. Depression of protective reflexes
b. Depression of respiration
c. Depression of cardiovascular system
d. Variation in response in the elderly and infirm.
II. Principles
a. Administration of drugs to produce unconsciousness requires knowledge to be able to
i. Understand and deal with the actions of drugs being administered
ii. Manage any complications
iii. Anticipate the modifications of actions by concurrent therapy and disease.
b. Every patient shall have a general medical assessment by a medical practitioner with training in anaesthesia.
c. The administration of drugs should be directly supervised by a medical practitioner trained in anaesthesia who does not assume the additional role of a surgeon.
d. A written record must be kept of the drugs administered and of their effects.
e. Monitoring of the patient shall be done according to the accepted published guidelines.
f. The full attention of the person, administering drugs to produce the unconscious state must be present until complications demanding immediate attention will no longer occur.
• Sedation for Diagnostic and Surgical Procedures
I. Introduction
Sedation includes the administration, by any route, of all forms of drugs which result in depression of the Central Nervous System. The objective of sedation techniques is to produce a degree of sedation of the patient, without loss of consciousness.
These techniques are not without risks, because of:
a. Depression of protective reflexes
b. depression of respiration
c. depression of cardiovascular system
d. a wide variety of drugs can be used
e. unpredictable absorption, distribution and efficiency of drugs when administered via oral or rectal routes.
f. potential for overdosage and toxicity
g. individual pharmacologic variability
h. wide variety of procedures performed
i. different standards of equipment and staffing.
II. Principles
a. Patient shall be assessed by a trained medical practitioner and includes:
i. complete medical history
ii. informed consent
iii. preoperative instruction, to include fasting
iv. discharge instructiongs, to include activity limitations and anticipated side effects.
b. The practitioner administering these drugs requires a basic knowledge to be able to
i. Understand the action of the drugs being administered.
ii. detect and manage complications (especially airway management and cardio-vascular resuscitation).
iii. manage altered drug actions and effects caused by intercurrent disease processes.
c. A written record of drugs administered and its dose effects must be kept.
d. Staffing: There must an assistant available to the anaesthesiologist
i. The surgeon may provide the sedation and is responsible for the case of the patient.
ii. If rational communication with the patient is lost, the surgeon must cease the procedure and attend to the patient, until another physician is available to undertake the case and monitoring of the patient.
iii. Techniques involving heavy sedation require the continuous presence of an anaesthesiologist.
e. Facilities: The procedure must be carried out in a location of adequate size, staffing and. equipment to deal with cprdiopulmonary resuscitatiod, including:
i. tilting operating table - suction apparatus
ii. supply of oxygen
iii. a means of inflating the lungs, with oxygen
iv. drugs for card iorespiratory resuscitation
v. pulse oximetry
vi. defibrillator
f. Discharge: Patients should be discharged only after a period of continuous observation either in the theatre or a place adequately equipped to deal with complications. After authorization, patients are discharged into the care of a responsible adult, who shall be given written instructions.
• RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ANAESTHESIOLOGIST IN THE POST OPERATIVE PERIOD
• The anaesthesiologist has a prime responsibility in the management of the patient recovering from anaesthesia. This covers the period until the patient is ready for discharge from the recovery area.
• The anaesthesiologist provides advice for management of:
I. Monitoring during recovery.
II. Pain relief.
III. Fluid therapy.
IV. Respiratory therapy.
V. Adverse anaesthesia related events.
VI. Peri-operative medical problems.
• The anaesthesiologists has a responsibility to ensure that:
I. Adverse effects related to anaesthesia are recognized, treated and recorded for further review.
II. Relatives are kept informed of the anaesthesia outcome.
• The anaesthesiologist often has an on-going consult in the postoperative period i.e. management of post operative pain. It is his/ her responsibility to provide a mechanism by which he/she may be contacted at all times and if not on call, to provide a reliever for ongoing management. A roster system must be established and widely circulated so that continuity of care is maintained.
• GUIDELINES FOR THE CARE OF PATIENTS RECOVERING FROM ANAESTHESIA IN THE RECOVERY AREA (INCLUDING DAY CASE SURGERY)
• Principles
I. Recovery from anaesthesia should take place under appropriate supervision in an area designed for that purpose.
II. The area should be adjacent to where the anaesthetic is given.
III. The staff working in the areas should be trained in recovery duties and should have access to medical staff promptly.
• Recovery Area
I. The area must be adjacent to the OR but must be accessible to medical staff outside the OR who are not in theatre attire.
II. "Climate Control" should be to theatre standards.
III. Adequate space must be available per bed with easy access to the head part.
IV. OR: PACU bed ratio should be 1.5 to 3.0.
V. Each space should have oxygen and suction available.
VI. Adequate lighting and emergency lighting.
VII. Room for equipment and writing space for medical records.
VIII. Space for a nursing station and storage of equipment.
IX. A wall clock that can be seen from each space.
X. An emergency call system and telephone.
• Equipment and Drugs
I. Each bed should have access to oxygen, suction, stethoscope and B.P. apparatus.
II. Equipment suitable to inflate the lungs with oxygen.
III. Intubation equipment.
IV. Emergency drugs, and means of administration
V. I.V. equipment.
There should be easy access to:
VI. An E.C.G.
VII. Pulse oximeter
VIII. Defibrillator
IX. Temperature measuring device
X. Neuromuscular function monitor
XI. Bronchoscope and suction
XII. Blood warmer
XIII. Refrigeration of Blood / Drugs
XIV. Variety of Drugs
XV. Diagnostic Services
• Staffing
I. Previous training in the care of patients recovering from anaesthesia must be present at all times.
II. Trainees must be supervised.
III. Trained staff must be sufficient to provide at least one per patient who has not recovered protective reflexes.
• Management and Supervision
I. Written protocols for safe management should be established by the anaesthesiologist in charge.
II. Written routine should be established for equipment checks.
III. Observations should be recorded regularly, to be included in the medical record and preferably on the anaesthetic chart.
IV. All patients should remain in the recovery area until they are assessed as being safe for discharge.
V. The anaesthesiologist responsible should:
a. accompany the patient to the recovery area and hand over to a responsible member of the staff.
b. provide written and verbal instruction to the staff.
c. specify the need for oxygen
d. remain in the vicinity until the patient is safe to be left in the care of staff
e. authorize the patient's discharge from recovery area or delegate this duty to another anaesthesiologist after appropriate endorsement.
• Specific Guidelines for Day Case Surgery Recovery
I. The guidelines for general recovery apply to Day Case Surgery Recovery Areas.
In addition:
II. Close liaison is required between the anaesthesiologist and surgeon to ensure suitability for discharge as the patient's readiness to travel home may depend upon surgical factors.
III. Patients and relatives should have written instructions concerning activities and responsibilities in the early post-operative period.
IV. Discharge Instructions shall include:
a. name and telephone number of the physician should complications develop
b. activity limitation (including driving and operating machines)
c. diet and drug restriction, (alcohol, prohibited drugs, etc)
d. anticipated side effects
V. Suitable hospital in-patient transfer arrangements must be in place should the need arise to admit a patient for further treatment.
