The
anaesthetic agent and its quantity used to induce the patient to general anaesthesia
are not at all mentioned. Even the basic parameters of health like, i.e.,
B.P., pulse rate, etc. before administering general anaesthesia,
post-anaesthetic agent and during the course of surgical procedure are
conspicuous by their absence in the surgical notes. Under the relevant
directions of the Medical Council of India and as a matter of standard medical
protocol, all such parameters are usually recorded in tabulated/graphical form
which are termed as “notes of anaesthesia” which as per the opposite
party-surgeon have not been kept in this case. Keeping no record/note of these
important aspects, even if for the sake of argument it is assumed that an
anaesthesiologist was present and had inducted the patient to general
anaesthesia, is a glaring omission on the part of the operating surgeon.
