Record epidural information on an anesthetic sheet

An anesthetic sheet does not have a dedicated setting that you can use to record epidural information. To record that you gave an epidural to a patient, you must use the Local/Regional boxes. As a result, the SmartFlow reports show that you gave an epidural.

Make sure that you made an anesthetic sheet.

To record an epidural, do this procedure.

Note: You cannot use the SmartFlow web app to do this procedure. You must use the SmartFlow iPad app.
