You are watching the needle tip advance on the ultrasound screen, navigating the narrow space between the carotid artery and the interscalene plexus. The success of this Regional Block is measured in millimeters and milliliters—a precise titration of Ropivacaine and Adrenaline that will provide 24 hours of surgical silence for the patient's shoulder reconstruction. In this high-stakes environment, the difference between a textbook success and a complicated Intravascular injection is found in the clinician's ability to document every variable of the procedure.

The Philosophy of Precision Auditing

The "Regional Anaesthesia Log" is designed for the trainee or consultant who treats every block as a forensic event. It moves your case records from disparate notes to a structured, mobile digital dossier. By standardizing the capture of the Primary block type—covering over 30 specific nerves from the Cervical plexus to the Sciatic n.—the system ensures that your professional portfolio is clinically exhaustive. It acknowledges that a block performed under USG (Ultrasound Guidance) represents a different technical milestone than one based on Landmarks.

The Blueprint: High-Resolution Clinical Data

The structure of this library is built to satisfy the multi-dimensional requirements of modern anaesthesia.

  • Procedural Forensics: Dedicated fields for Technique, Laterality, and the Number of needle passes capture the physical reality of the block room.
  • Pharmacological Integrity: The template captures the precise pharmacological strategy, documenting Drug volume (mL), Drug concentration (%), and the specific Additives (e.g., Clonidine, Dexamethasone) used to extend the block duration.
  • Outcome Analytics: Beyond the technique, the system evaluates the result—distinguishing between Successful, Partially successful, and Unsuccessful outcomes, and documenting any required Rescue measures like a Converted to GA status.

Usage Scenarios: The ARCP Portfolio Review

You are preparing for your Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP). Instead of manually tallying cases from a paper log, you open Memento. You group your cases by Block type and filter for USG techniques. You instantly see your total volume in Upper limb vs Truncal blocks. You point to your 98% Successful rate and the documented Patient satisfaction scores. The narrative of your technical mastery is clear, the data is structured, and your portfolio is ready for senior review in seconds.

Power Feature: High-Frequency Complication Tracking

By utilize the Complications multichoice field—tracking everything from Hypotension to Nerve damage—the template turns a daily log into a safety engine. You can analyze your practice for subtle trends that might not be obvious in individual cases. This level of self-directed auditing is the cornerstone of clinical excellence, ensuring that your procedural milestones are always supported by high-resolution evidence of your clinical results.
