Apologies for the misleading heading of my previous message.
(I am using someone else's computer at present.)
We are trying to look at how frequently housemen order various tests
post-operatively, with a view to drawing up guidelines.
Does anyone have ideas about how frequently it is reasonable to ask for
things like U&Es, LFTs. There does not seem to be much in the literature
to help in deciding. I have looked at guidelines for monitoring patients
on parenteral nutrition, but they are rather vague as well.
All suggestions gratefully received!
Brian Shine
