"Boss kelab malam"

This is the nick given to me by one of my JMO. Why? Coz usually most of my call night r very bz. Party all night long in OT! haha..

The day b4 was my last call of the month. The OT was bz the whole night with 3 laparotomies + a thoracotomy and 2 LSCS.

The pt Mr B who had both laparotomy and thoracotomy was sent to HPP for cardiothorasic team to take over in the morning. He bled 4L of blood from the chet tube before our surgeon opening up his thorax.

Mr B bled >7L of blood, transfused 12 units of WB, 2 courses of DIVC regime and the 3rd in progress when we packed him to Cardiothorasic.

On departure from our ICU, he was haemodynamically stable without any inotropes, in mild ARDS but still in coagulopaty,

This is the case Gasman mention in his blog here.
