Here is a practical, step-by-step guide on how to write nursing/clinical notes in an IP (Inpatient) sheet for a CBD (Common Bile Duct) stent/drain insertion procedure (typically done via ERCP or open/laparoscopic surgery).
Writing IP Sheet Notes for CBD Insertion
An IP sheet note for a CBD procedure should follow a structured format and capture pre-procedure, intra-procedure, and post-procedure information. Most hospitals use either Narrative, SOAP, or DAR/Focus formats - the content below applies to all.
1. Pre-Procedure Note
Document the following before the procedure begins:
| Item | What to Write |
|---|---|
| Date & Time | e.g., 29/06/2026, 10:00 AM |
| Patient ID | Name, age, IP number, ward/bed |
| Diagnosis | e.g., "Obstructive jaundice due to CBD stricture / choledocholithiasis" |
| Procedure planned | "ERCP with CBD stent insertion planned" or "Surgical CBD drainage planned" |
| Consent | "Written informed consent obtained from patient/relative for the procedure and anesthesia" |
| NPO status | "Patient kept nil by mouth since [time/date]" |
| Pre-procedure vitals | BP, Pulse, SpO2, Temperature, RR |
| IV access | "18G IV cannula inserted in right forearm, IV fluids started" |
| Pre-procedure medications | "IV antibiotics given as per order (e.g., Inj. Ceftriaxone 1g IV at 09:30 AM)" |
| Lab values | Note relevant recent results: LFT, INR/PT, CBC, serum bilirubin, imaging report (USG/MRCP/CT) |
| Allergies | "No known drug allergies" or specify allergy |
| Pre-procedure preparation | "Throat spray given / IV midazolam given for conscious sedation" (for ERCP) |
Example pre-procedure entry:
29/06/2026, 09:45 AM - Patient Mr. X, 55Y/M, IP No. 12345, Bed 12, Ward 3. Admitted with obstructive jaundice. MRCP shows CBD stone with dilatation. ERCP with CBD stone extraction and stent insertion planned today. Informed consent obtained. Patient NPO since midnight. IV access secured - 18G cannula right hand. Inj. Pantoprazole 40mg IV and Inj. Ceftriaxone 1g IV given. Pre-procedure vitals: BP 130/80 mmHg, PR 82/min, SpO2 98% on room air. Patient shifted to endoscopy suite at 09:45 AM. - Staff Nurse [Name], Sign
2. Intra-Procedure Note (if nurse is assisting/circulating)
10:15 AM - Patient in endoscopy suite. Positioned in left lateral/prone position. IV Midazolam 2mg and Inj. Buscopan 20mg given as per physician order. ERCP performed by Dr. [Name]. CBD cannulated successfully. Stone extracted with balloon. Plastic stent (7Fr x 7cm) inserted into CBD. Patient vitals stable throughout. SpO2 maintained 97-99% with O2 supplementation at 2L/min via nasal prongs. No desaturation or bradycardia noted. Procedure completed at 11:00 AM. - [Nurse Name], Sign
3. Post-Procedure Note
This is the most detailed section. Document within 30 minutes of procedure completion.
| Item | What to Write |
|---|---|
| Time back to ward | "Patient returned to ward at 11:15 AM" |
| Level of consciousness | "Alert and oriented / drowsy but arousable" |
| Vitals | BP, PR, SpO2, RR, temperature |
| Pain score | "Pain score 2/10 on numeric rating scale" |
| Abdomen | "Abdomen soft, non-tender / mild epigastric tenderness noted" |
| Nausea/vomiting | "Patient complaining of mild nausea, no vomiting" |
| IV fluids | "IV fluids continued at [rate] as per order" |
| Medications given | List post-procedure meds given |
| Complications | "No immediate complications noted" OR describe what was observed |
| NPO continuation | "Patient kept NPO for 2 hours post-procedure as per physician instruction" |
| Physician informed | "Dr. [Name] informed of patient's condition post-procedure" |
| Drain/stent details | "CBD plastic stent in situ, no external drainage noted" |
Example post-procedure entry:
29/06/2026, 11:20 AM - Patient returned from endoscopy suite post ERCP + CBD stent insertion. Conscious, oriented. BP 124/78 mmHg, PR 80/min, SpO2 98% RA, RR 18/min, afebrile. Abdomen soft, mild epigastric discomfort, pain score 2/10. No nausea/vomiting. IV Ringer's lactate 500ml running at 80ml/hr. Inj. Pantoprazole 40mg IV given. Patient kept NPO. CBD plastic stent in situ per procedure report. No bleeding, no rigors, no desaturation noted. Dr. [Name] informed - post-procedure orders received. - Staff Nurse [Name], Sign
4. Ongoing Monitoring Notes (every 4-6 hours or as per protocol)
Watch for and document:
- Vitals every 1-2 hours initially, then 4-hourly
- Signs of post-ERCP pancreatitis: worsening abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting - inform doctor immediately
- Fever/chills - may indicate cholangitis
- Bleeding: hematemesis, melena, PR bleeding
- Bile output if external drain present (volume, color, character)
- Jaundice progress: check sclera and skin color daily
- Urine output and color (dark urine improving = good sign)
- Diet: note when diet is resumed (usually clear liquids first)
5. Key Documentation Rules (General)
- Always include Date + Time with every entry
- Use objective language - write what you see, not what you assume
- Record vitals numerically - never write "vitals stable" without actual numbers
- Sign every entry with full name, designation, and staff ID
- Document doctor notifications - "Dr. informed at [time], order received"
- Avoid abbreviations unless standard (CBD, BP, PR, SpO2 are acceptable)
- Correct errors with a single line through, date, time, and sign - never use correction fluid/white-out
- Write in ink (usually black or blue as per hospital policy)
- Late entries: label clearly as "Late Entry - [original time]"
If the Context is Surgical (not ERCP)
If CBD insertion refers to surgical T-tube insertion or CBD exploration with drain placement, add:
- T-tube/drain details: size, type, site of insertion
- Drain output: color (bile = golden yellow/green), volume per shift
- Dressing status: intact/soaked/changed
- Tube patency: clamping/unclamping orders
Example drain note:
T-tube drain in situ at RUQ. Draining approximately 120ml bile-colored fluid in last 8 hours. Drain site dressing intact, no signs of leakage or infection. Tube unclamped as per physician order.
If you let me know whether this is for ERCP-based stenting, surgical T-tube/CBD drain, or a different setting (ICU, OT, ward), I can tailor the notes further or provide a ready-to-use template.
