Done and dusted for another month.
Arrived on the scene to hear there had been 4 caeasars since 5pm, and it was my turn to scrub in for the one on the table. Also had an ectopic going on next door - so our on-call girl and our level 3 from downstairs had to stay on to complete that. Was also told we were probably going to follow immediately on with another caesar.
My caesar went all right - and then went over to relieve the scout in the ectopic. Was expecting a very long night in there, but all turned out pretty easy. Relieved that patient in theatre, and finally got to have something to eat (about 2am at this stage).
At each 2 hour check the other lady was looking less and less likely to need to come to us. So down to the recliners for a quick nap whilst we could get it.
Twenty minutes later, off goes the phone. Same lady, going to be about 30 minutes due to anaesthetist being run off his feet. Ended up bringing her straight away, just so that we were ready for when the anaesthetist could get back.
From there to actually prepping/cutting was 2 hours! Anaesthetist caught up doing a spinal; registrar having to go monitor a PPH; epidural top-up not working effectively on this lady. I think I was scrubbed for about 90 minutes before I actually did anything (having all my sterile equipment opened meant I am unable to leave the room, and things change so quickly there's too much risk in unscrubbing).
So that took me to the end of the night. Quite happy to see bed after that!!
