A pilot randomised controlled trial of medical versus nurse clerking for minor surgery

Abstract: Background-Nurse led clerking is currently practiced in a growing number of UK centres, but there is a paucity of evidence to underpin the safety of this innovation. Aim-To assess the safety of nurse led clerking in paediatric day case and minor surgery. Methods-Children aged 3 months to 15 years were randomly assigned to clerking by either a nurse or a senior house oYcer (SHO) (resident). All children were then independently reassessed by a specialist registrar anaesthetist to provide a "gold standard" agains… Show more

“…The quality, communication and cooperation between surgeon and nurse on one side and the patient on the other have been reported in a few studies to play an important role. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] We think that this should be considered seriously and that arrangements should be made to better maintain the privacy of the patient during the surgery.…”

“…Studies find that nurse-led PACs are equally effective at detecting undiagnosed or poorly controlled medical problems (Koay & Marks, 1996;Whiteley et al, 1997;Rushforth et al, 2000) and, if broadly introduced, PRHOs would only be required to examine patients and obtain consent on the day of admission.…”

“…The pro-forma, however, uses more paper that frequently contains sparse information, causing bulkier patient-medical notes, often leading to binding problems and two or more volumes. Introducing pro-forma is associated with data capture improvements in non-acute settings regardless of training (Rushforth et al, 2000;Whiteley et al, 1997). Pro-forma guide the clinician and reduce the likelihood that important admission record and handover information are omitted (Ho et al, 2005;Goodyear and Lloyd, 1995;Ferran et al, 2008).…”
