CardsurgLog — Personal Cardiac Surgery Logbook

1 Your profile — set once

Your name *

Affiliation / title *

This is your personal copy of CardsurgLog, so your name and affiliation are entered once. They appear on your exports and reports. You can edit them any time, but there is only one profile.

Hospitals I work in

Code

Hospital name

List the hospitals where you operate. Give each a short code and its name (e.g. NIC → Nasser Institute). The code appears in the case form below; the name prints on the operative report. To edit one, click it, change it, and press Add / update. Kept on this device only.

🔒 These fields are optional and exist only for your own use — to recognise your patients and keep notes and images against a case. They are stored on this device, shown in your records table, and are never included in the plain Excel export or the standard JSON backup. Use “Private backup (with names)” in section 9 if you want a personal copy that keeps them.

3 Preoperative risk factors — shared · red * = required for EuroSCORE II

EuroSCORE II also uses age and sex (from the identifier above), operative priority (section 2), weight of the intervention and surgery on the thoracic aorta (both taken automatically from the procedures you tick below).

Death timing

Main cause of death

You may save as soon as you record the status (Alive, Died, or Died on table). Any outcome fields left blank are fine — the record will be flagged “complete file” next to it in the records table (section 7) until every field here is filled.

9 Save & back up

💾 Auto-save is on.

Your logbook saves automatically on this device. Whenever you like, save a copy to your own cloud:

On a phone, either button opens your Share sheet — choose Save to Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive or send it to yourself by email. Excel is a readable spreadsheet of your logbook, including your private details (hospital, patient name, notes). JSON backup is the complete copy you restore from. Saving never erases anything — keep a backup regularly, and before changing phone or clearing your browser.

Restore

To bring your logbook back — on a new phone or laptop, or if the browser was cleared — load a JSON backup file here.

Import from the ESCTS tool

Already using the ESCTS registry tool? Bring your own cases across. Choose the personal JSON backup you exported from it — your operations are added to your CardsurgLog logbook (duplicates are skipped).

This imports a single surgeon's personal backup only — a national / multi-centre file will be declined. If the backup contains patient names, you'll be asked before they're brought in.
