Key capability C
C | Describes the principles of intra-operative haemostasis and manages major haemorrhage |
Examples of evidence
- SLEs throughout stage of training in a range of surgical specialties including out of hours work, trauma.
- Cardiothoracics are the largest users of blood products in any surgical speciality within our trust. We provide near patient thromboelastometry (TEG6) for all patients including platelet mapping.
Key capabilities I & J
I | Safely manages patients with complex airways including the ability to perform videolaryngoscopy with local supervision |
J | Manages non-complex shared airway surgery with distant supervision |
Examples of evidence
- SLEs throughout stage of training in a range of surgical specialties including ENT and maxillo-facial surgery. (This is also relevant for shared airway procedures in thoracics including diagnostic rigid bronchoscopy, EBUS procedures, airway LASER and tracheal tumour debridement)
Personal activities and reflections:
- simulation courses: airway management.
Cardiothoracic anaesthesia: key capabilities O to R
O | Applies basic science and clinical anaesthetic principles to patients undergoing cardiac and thoracic surgery |
P | Describes the principles of anaesthesia for on and off bypass cardiac and thoracic surgery |
Q | Provides safe anaesthetic care to ASA 1–3 adults undergoing elective cardiac revascularisation, valvular surgery and cardiology procedures under direct supervision |
R | Demonstrates safe anaesthetic care for adults requiring non-complex thoracic procedures under direct supervision, including one lung ventilation |
Examples of evidence
- SLEs from experience in cardiac and thoracic surgery.
Suggested supervision level
- 2a - supervisor in theatre suite, available to guide aspects of activity through monitoring at regular intervals.
