When you make an anesthetic sheet, you can record pre-operative medications that you will administer. To record pre-operative medications, use the applicable medication boxes that show in the Creating new Anesthetic Sheet dialog box.

The Creating new Anesthetic Sheet dialog box includes a Meds on Anesthetic Sheet setting. If you set Meds on Anesthetic Sheet setting to Yes, SmartFlow shows the pre-operative medications in the new anesthetic sheet. This image shows a pre-operative medication and the result in a new flowsheet:

If you set Meds on Anesthetic Sheet to No, SmartFlow does not show pre-operative medications in the new anesthetic sheet. This image shows what occurs if you record a pre-operative medication but set Meds on Anesthetic Sheet to No:

When you make an anesthetic sheet, SmartFlow automatically keeps the previous selection of the Meds on Anesthetic Sheet setting. Thus, it is important to do a check of the Meds on Anesthetic Sheet setting each time that you make an anesthetic sheet.
