These notes cover all three areas comprehensively. Here's a quick orientation:
Part I — Examination of Surgical Patients covers the structured approach to history-taking (cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, GI, urologic domains), physical examination (general, CVS, respiratory, abdominal, neurological, airway), preoperative investigations with indications, mandatory electrolyte correction before GA, and risk stratification tools (ASA, RCRI, METs).
Part II — Patient Supervision covers the full perioperative arc: preoperative preparation (NBM, DVT prophylaxis, antibiotic timing, consent), intraoperative monitoring standards, PACU discharge criteria (Aldrete score), ward supervision using NEWS2/Early Warning Score, the SOAP ward round framework, a time-based complications table (hemorrhage → atelectasis → wound infection → anastomotic leak → DVT/PE), fluid management, analgesia ladder, ICU indications, and the ERAS protocol.
Part III — Modern Technologies covers laparoscopic surgery (CO₂ physiology in detail), robotic surgery (da Vinci system, components, advantages and limitations), SILS, NOTES, endovascular surgery, image-guided surgery (AR, intraoperative MRI, fluorescence-guided surgery with ICG), energy devices (monopolar, bipolar, ultrasonic, LigaSure, laser), AI applications across all three surgical phases, telementoring, and simulation-based training.
