I have come across this from time to time. The surgeon states on the op report ASA classification 2 the conflict is that the anesthesia record is ASA 3. Patient is having Endoscopic Ultrasound with MAC, but "during process of receiving MAC Anesthesia & endoscopy patient was having gurgling sounds and decision was made to intubate for patient safety.
Is this a compliance issue? Does any one else have surgeons put ASA classifications on op rpts? I don't see other surgeons do this except this particular one and he always seems to off by one.
Thanks,
