 ==== Welcome to Children's ====
-This page contains a wealth of information about University of Colorado Children's Hospital. The rotation includes high volume pediatric plastic surgery and craniofacial surgery. Plan to meet with Dr. Mason at the beginning of the rotation and he will go over his [[Mason_Welcome| Welcome Packet]] that includes introductory information, weekday and weekend workflow, resident responsibilities, Day Call, The List and Transition of Care and Children's Specific Conferences including Oral Boards. You are encouraged to read this prior to starting your rotation.

 OR takes precedence over clinic. However, if you are not in cases, you are expected to attend clinic. If simultaneous cases, cover cases in order of seniority (Dr. French's cases covered first, then Khechoyan). Of course, if one of the more junior attendings is doing a really cool case, talk to French about covering those instead. Please look ahead and coordinate coverage as needed. Some cases require extra hands (ABG, breast reduction, etc).
 **Rounding**: You will see all the necessary patients yourself and update the attendings. Maureen will also see the Cleft/Craniofacial patients, but this should not replace your rounding.
+**Supplies**:
+  * The code for the supply rooms on the floor is 13579#. These are not super well stocked and may not have what you're looking for.
+  * Most dressings can be found in the burn procedure room in 6 South (the middle unit on 6, rms 625-649). Door code: 13579#. Cabinet code: 3167.
+  * The code for the clinic cart that lives in Hallway B is 1225. Plastics-specific supplies are in the cabinets above the desks in the work room. There is a big supply room with lots of different dressing stuff in the blue side of the MDC.
+  * Wound vac sponges are in OR pod 2 ~between OR 14 and 10. The cast/splint cart lives in the far hallway outside of OR 14/15. The burn cart lives across from the dictation room.

 ====Orthognathic cases====
 Khechoyan has a big postop pathway, see separate document.
 ====Clinic====
-  * The clinics are on the second floor of the outpatient side of the hospital. PRS patients are usually in Hallway B. There's a work room in the back hall that is shared with gyn and ID.

I would let Mo know the baby has been born. The consult should go to the attending on call (or whoever is next) between French, Khechoyan, and Nguyen. The primary team should consult OT for feeding.

 **ED Laceration Repairs**
-  * Ask the ED to obtain supplies/local/baci ointment for you. They have a poor selection of sutures. I will go to the OR to select instruments I want (0.5 pick ups, small needle driver or Castros, small Iris scissors or tenotomies) and sutures.
+  * Ask the ED to obtain supplies/local/baci ointment for you. Baci is not freely available in supply rooms and has to be ordered. The ED has a poor selection of sutures. Go to OR Pod 1 (between ORs 4 and 8) to select sutures as well as instruments. There are a few sets specifically set aside for ED lac repairs (they will be labeled as such. This is also where you can find individual peel packed instruments if you don't want the whole set.
   * For ED facial lacerations, be mindful of absorbable versus non-absorbable sutures based on patient age and location of laceration. Discuss with attending if you are unsure.
-  * See above to message scheduler for follow-up. If using nonabsorbables that need to be removed in a patient that will require sedation, coordinate this beforehand. They can be scheduled for suture removal in the Procedure Center without coming to clinic.
+**Coordination of Follow-up visits:**
+  * Most ED follow-ups are seen by the PAs. To schedule, send an EPIC Staff Message to Marquise and Joanne (and CC the APPs). Include any relevant scheduling needs (ie, ‘s/p xxx procedure w/xxx MD, needs clinic follow up in 7-10 days’). If Dr. Khechoyan is on call, please clarify when staffing with him whether he wants them scheduled with a PA or with him.
+  * If a patient will require sedation in the Procedure Center for suture removal, this can be scheduled without needing to come to clinic first. Nowadays, the the APPs prefer to schedule this themselves. Communicate this scheduling need to the APPs in your EPIC Staff Message (see above). If a patient does not require sedation for suture removal, can schedule as a regular clinic visit.
+  * Please include the appropriate [[children_s#Schedulers]] if you need to arrange follow-up with a specific attending.
-Coordination of outpatient visits:
+=====Admitting Patients=====
-- Send an EPIC Staff Message (does not need to be Secure Chat unless it is urgent) to Lindsay, Jordan, Marquise Sanford, Melinda Bond, and Brooke Jacobson RN. Include any relevant scheduling needs (ie, ‘s/p xxx procedure w/xxx MD, needs clinic follow up in 7-10 days’). Most of these visits will be scheduled with a PA, however if Dr. Khechoyan is on call please be very clear when staffing with him whether he wants them scheduled with a PA or with him
+  * Most plastics "primary" patients, including combo craniosynostosis cases with NSGY, are admitted to the Pink team. For elective cases, you can check if Pink is aware of them by going to Status Board > Team: Pink Med/Surg. To reach out to the Pink provider/attending, go to On-Call Finder > Medical Pink.
-- ED follow up visits: can be scheduled with Lindsay or Jordan. Again, if Dr. Khechoyan is the attending, they should all be scheduled with him unless he specifies that he is OK with them being with a PA. He will authorize overbooking his clinic to accommodate if necessary.
+  * Isolated facial traumas that need to be admitted (ie facial fracture we'll operate on tomorrow, etc) are admitted to Pediatric Surgery.
-- If a patient will require sedation for suture removal, please place an order for suture removal under anesthesia:
+  * If the patient needs to be admitted to the PICU and you don't know which team is taking them, reach out to PICU White (see On-Call Finder).
-Plastics Case Request--> Suture Removal, location PC, provider either Lindsay or Jordan (can be changed after it’s placed if needed)
+  * PICU patients will downgrade to either Pink (most patients) or Pediatric Surgery (trauma patients).
-Still need to send an EPIC Staff Message to the team to notify them of the scheduling need
+  * If there's a complex medical patient coming in or if you want to have a patient stay overnight from the ED (ie lip hematomas etc that we may or may not operate on), they will be admitted to Pink or Pediatric Surgery depending on the context.
-If a patient does not require sedation for suture removal, can be scheduled as a regular clinic visit
-Follow Up: cc Jordan and Lindsay
-French: Marquis Sanford
-Khechoyan/Yu: Melinda Bond
-=====Admitting patients to medicine=====
-  * __Complex patients or possible non-op observation__: If there's a complex medical patient coming in or if you want to have a patient stay overnight from the ED (ie lip hematomas etc that we may or may not operate on), you can have medicine admit them. Discuss with the attending. Call the One Call people and then select Admissions/Transfers and  to be connected to the admitting attending and senior resident to discuss the admission.
-  * __Yellow Team__: In addition to our new collaboration with Yellow Team for Cleft patients, they admit post-op breast patients as well. There are certain other cases where you can admit post-op patients to them. Discuss with our attendings.
 =====Prescriptions=====
-   * __Liquid oxycodone is the one med that impacts our kids as it is hard to find outside of CHCO.  Attaching the work around in case you think this is work sharing with the rest of the team.  If not—feel free to discard and no reply back to me is needed.  Happy Friday!  Mo
