ACGME Case Logs Question

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Is it necessary to log mundane procedures such as cerumen removal or anterior nasal packing for epistaxis?

They aren't key indicators but I usually log if I do them in the OR. I have never logged nasal packing unless it's posterior.
 
I still log them if I do them. Just because they're not "key indicator" procedures, they still count for the number of procedures for your residency program. That being said, I only log them in the hospital. Definitely don't log bedside flexible laryngoscopies...
