Question 9 of 10
In this MRCS Part B scenario you are the surgical registrar. The anaesthetist for today’s list has some questions for you.
Do you want to rearrange the list at all or are you happy with the current order?
Before deciding I would like to have more information on the patient’s current condition, and severity of their comorbidities. It would probably be more appropriate for the elective abdominal aortic aneurysm to be first on the list as it is the largest, most complex and appears to be the most urgent case.
I would place the inguinal hernia operation second and the varicose vein stripping last, especially because of the MRSA. I would confirm this with my consultant before submitting the revised list.
