Abstract
s / British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 53 (2015) e37–e110 e39 surgical procedure. 10% of GA’s were given for anxiety alone. 14% of children were assessed by junior staff members (SHO). 8 children were listed for GA for orthodontic premolar extractions in 2014 without a recommended justification. Conclusions: Paediatric GA is still an essential service. Compliance with national guidance for the justification of GA is poor although this may improve once documentation is increased. Outcome: A stamp was created for patient records to improve documentation of the decision making process. We instigated a departmental protocol to ensure all children are assessed by a senior clinician before listing. Re-audit is expected to show improved compliance. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bjoms.2015.08.013
