In Anesthesiology could you prepare the night before the cases that you've to do in the morning?

I mean could you run through the scenrio in your head?

Would you know the type of cases that you would be doing for the next day?

Could you run through the complications that would come up and be prepared?

As a student, yes. You are expected to write a care plan for each case outlining your plan and contingencies.

As a CRNA, MDA or AA you just take your cases as they come and run with it. Emergencies pop up all the time and you can't count on the OR staying on schedule.

If you're like most places, the schedule the night before bears little resemblance to the actual schedule. Academics might be different, but our private practice hospital constantly changes the order of cases and room assignments to accommodate cases running over, emergencies, etc. You often find out what your next case is going to be after you drop the previous patient off in the PACU.

Re: Prepration

My impression is that academic hospitals are worse, actually. You can't predict how long residents will take to do anything.
