Whilst I was aware of most of what was discussed,I feel I have been caught out due to my previous experience.thanks for ur feedback.it's good to put things out there.

We are theatre where I have been employed for a considerable time previously and more laterally in er.the patient was going back to hdu.whilst the patient is in the dept he is at all times the responsibly of the consultant anaesthetist so generally u do what u are asked.

I was recently asked by consultant anaesthetist to take down the transducer monitoring and cap off an art line which could still used for bloods at a later point.I had no questions regards this as I had seen art lines capped and used for repeat Abgs at a later point.The area to which the patient was being discharged flagged the incident and was told this should never be the case.first off I was doing what I was told and secondly had as I say seen similar practise before,be it in a different area.I'm aware now that this is not best practise but was only going on previous experience.
