Just a quick poll. When are you guys stopping the anesthetic on your Csections? Are you rolling them to recovery and charting one more set of vitals or documenting last set in OR and letting nurses take patients to recovery? Obviously I am talking about SAB for surgery.
As general rule I have been standing at head of bed for another 10 minutes watching nurse and scrub do whatever it is they do changing bedding etc to transport a perfectly stable patient who is now off monitors to recovery suite down the hall.
Last weekend it was driving me crazy because I am impatient and had cases to do in main OR. Documented last set of vitals and called end of anesthesia time while still in OR. We do the same thing for MAC's, but obviously the nurse was very concerned because this was a change in her routine. Just curious how others are handling situation.
