12^th European Conference on Surgery & Cosmetology November 22-23, 2021 Barcelona, Spain

Background Clear documentation of the post-take ward round (PTWR) management plan is essential on the Emergency General Surgery Unit (EGSU). There is anecdotal evidence among staff on the EGSU at Aintree University Hospital that the documentation of nil by mouth (NBM) status, estimated date of discharge and do not resuscitate (DNACPR) status are particularly poorly documented. Standards Taken from the SAFE Ward Round Tool (Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh)2:- -Documentation of NBM status: 100% -Documentation of DNACPR and escalation status: 100% -Documentation of estimated date of discharge status: 100% Aim & Objective -To ensure that the team looking after the surgical patient has clear and enough information on each patient to ensure safety. -Assess the quality of the PTWR. -Understand what is meant by productive PTWR. -Develop PTWR sheets to be more effective and efficient. Methodology -Sample size:- 180 cases. -Inclusion criteria:- All patients who were admitted to Aintree hospital under SAU and seen by a doctor (registrar or consultant). -Audit period :- 7th September 2020 and 15th October 2020 -Exclusion criteria:- Urology and Major Trauma patients were not included in the study sample.
