General Surgery, Port Sudan Teaching Hospital, Port Sudan, SDN.
Background Thorough and standardized documentation of operative notes is essential for effective communication, patient safety, legal protection, and the continuity of care. However, in many hospitals in Sudan, surgeons often use non-standardized methods, resulting in inconsistent and incomplete records. This study evaluates the quality of operative notes at the Port Sudan Teaching Hospital using the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSEng) guidelines, aiming to improve compliance and documentation practices.

Considerable changes in the approaches to optimal use of blood components and their alternatives, driven by the findings of large randomised controlled trials and improved haemovigilance, have become apparent over the past decade.

For two years now, anaesthesia technical assistance has been a state-recognized profession in Germany and entitles graduates to work in all fields of anaesthesiology, with the exception of the intensive care unit. The job profile is comparable to the nurse anesthetist in Great Britain (Operation Department Practitioner) or in the Netherlands (Anesthesiemedewerker). In an initial empirical research project in 2023, the professional field was described and the question of whether graduates are adequately prepared for the fields of anaesthesiology was discussed with the focus particularly on the recovery room.
