Section Time is a simple, focused timing and record-keeping tool for anaesthetists and theatre teams working in obstetric settings. It replaces scribbled notes and mental arithmetic with one clear screen for logging the times that matter during a case, so you can concentrate on the case itself, then transcribe accurate times onto the official record afterwards. KEY EVENT TIMES Record the moment each key step happens with a single tap: โข Time Bleeped โข Patient in Theatre โข Block In / GA (with Spinal, Epidural Top-Up or GA selection) โข Block Ready โข Knife to Skin โข Delivery (with support for multiple births) Section Time automatically works out useful elapsed times as you go, including time since bleep, time since block/GA, and the decision-to-delivery interval, so there's no mental maths required. IMPORTANT Section Time is a record-keeping aid only. It does not provide clinical advice, alerts or reminders, and must not be used or relied upon to make clinical decisions. All recorded times should be independently verified and transcribed onto your institution's official medical record. Please read the full in-app disclaimer (Menu > Disclaimer/About) before use.
