General Case Checklist
This is the checklist I designed early in residency for classic, simple cases like lap appys, choles, gyn cases
General Case Preop and Checklist (CA1)
This is the checklist I designed for CA1s early on during training. I think it’s helpful to get organized with a good preop, presentation, setup, and signout. Let me know if there are some things you think I could have added or should have omitted. The link is below:
Cardiac Checklist
This is the checklist we used for our adult cardiac setups. It also includes special case considerations like the requirements for lung transplant, or heart transplant. It’s also got a nice little ICU-handoff template, so you can write down what they expect you to report at the end of the case.
Pediatrics Setup
While, I don’t do any pediatrics now, I still thought I’d include the checklist I made during residency. This checklist includes a combination of what we typically did at CHLA and UCLA
Morbid Obesity Checklist
This includes several things unique to morbidly obese patients like a larger ETT and ramp
Big Case Checklist
I used this for big abdominal cases like whipples or big bowel resections.
Thoracic Case Checklist
This was our typical setup at UCLA for lobectomies and the like. Includes things like bronchoscope, double-lumen tube, and a short thoracic hypoxia troubleshooting section
