Creating Anesthesia Records

Use the Anesthesia Record feature to enter data related to the patient's condition before, during, and after a procedure in which anesthesia is administered.

Note: The patient must have an appointment on the current day’s schedule for the Anesthesia option to be active.

Tip: You can print an anesthesia record or save it as a PDF file.

To create an Anesthesia Record:

On the Patient tab, select Clinical > Clinical Chart (EMR). The appointment is displayed in the panel.
On the right side of the appointment line, next to Manage Appointment, select Add to Chart > Anesthesia Record. The Anesthesia Record entry panels are displayed, with the General Information tab selected.
Enter information in these sections:
General Information
Pre-Op Evaluation
Surgery Info
Surgery Vitals
Post-Op Evaluation

Save the information you enter on each tab before moving to the next tab.

To edit an Anesthesia Record, click the Pencil icon.

Capturing an ECG Vitals Snapshot

You can capture an ECG snapshot from a connected vital signs monitor. ECG snapshots record a patient's sinus rhythm waveform at a selected point during a procedure. This file is saved as part of the Anesthesia Record and in Patient Files as a .jpg image.

Note: Only the Poet Plus 8100 and nCompass 8100H monitors from Criticare Technologies, Inc. are currently supported by Sensei Cloud.

Configuring ECG Settings

Before you can capture an ECG snapshot, you must configure the settings:

Select Administration > Devices & Integrations > Connected PCs.
From the list of connected PCs and monitors, select a monitor and click the Pencil icon to edit.
Under ECG Settings, enter the appropriate settings and click Save Device.

Capturing an ECG Snapshot

You can capture an ECG snapshot from the Surgery Vitals tab while you are recording vitals from a connected monitor during a procedure.

Use the Capture Snapshot button to capture the ECG at that moment in the procedure. A message is briefly displayed to let you know the capture has occurred. The date, time, and relevant measurements are recorded.
Use the ECG Snapshots drop-down list to see a list of snapshots taken during this recorded procedure. Select an item from the list to view the snapshot.

The snapshot is added to the Event Log at the bottom of the tab.
