The goal always in any setting is to practice to the highest possible standards

OxygenationAirway and ventilationCirculation TemperatureNeuromuscular functionDepth of anaesthesiaAudible signals and alarms
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
RECOMMENDED SUGGESTED
Oxygenation Oxygen supply :
Oxygenation of the patient :
- Supplemental oxygen -Un interrupted supply
- Visual examination, - Adequate illumination - Pulse oximetry
- Inspired oxygen concentration - Oxygen supply failure alarm -Hypoxic Guard
--
-
-
Airway and ventilation
- Observation - Auscultation - The reservoir bag
- Precordial, - Pretracheal, or -Oesophageal stethoscope - Capnography
- Continuous measurement of the inspiratory and/or expired gas volumes, and of the concentration of volatile agents
Circulation Cardiac rate and rhythm :
Tissue perfusion :
Blood pressure :
-Palpation of the pulse - Auscultation of the heart sounds - Pulse oximetry
- Clinical examination- Pulse oximetry
- At least every 5 mts
- Electrocardiograph- Defibrillator
- Capnography
- NIBP - IABP
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED SUGGESTED
Temperature - At frequent intervals
- Continual electronic temperature measurement
Neuromuscular function
- Peripheral nerve stimulator
Depth of anaesthesia
- Degree of unconsciousness (clinical observation)
- Continuous measurement of the inspiratory and/or expired gas volumes, and of the concentration of volatile agents
- BIS Monitor
Audible signals and alarms
Available audible signals (pulse tone of the pulse oximeter) and audible alarms (with appropriately set limit values) should be activated at all times and loud enough to be heard throughout the operating room
Crisis ManagementCrisis Management
Crisis Management Manual developed by Australian Patient Safety Foundation Qual Saf Health Care 2005;14
Working groups from several countries including the USA, UK and Australia after analyzing incident reports from the 4000 Australian Incident Monitoring Study (AIMS) reports and designed Core Algorithm & 24 Sub-Algorithms

MedicationMedicationAll drugs should be clearly labelled
The label on both ampoule and syringe should be read carefully before the drug is drawn up or injected
Ideally drugs should be drawn up and labelled by the anaesthetist who administers them.

CounselingCounseling
Pre operative counseling - Possible complication - Remote complication
• Post operative counseling - The Swiss Foundation for Patient Safety has published guidelines describing the actions to take after an adverse event has occurred .
Recommendations for senior staff Recommendations for senior staff membersmembers
A severe medical error is an emergency
Confidence between the senior staff and the involved professional
Involved professionals need a professional and objective discussion with, as well as emotional support from, peers in their department
Seniors should offer support for the disclosing conversation with the patient and/or the relatives
A professional work-up of that case based on facts is important for analysis and learning out of medical error. Ex..
Recommendations for Recommendations for colleaguescolleagues
Be aware that such an adverse event could happen to you also
Offer time to discuss the case with your colleague. Listen to what your colleague wants to tell and support him/her with your professional expertise
Address any culture of blame either directly from within the team or by any other colleagues
Recommendations for healthcare Recommendations for healthcare professionals directly involved in an professionals directly involved in an
adverse eventadverse event Do not suppress any feelings of emotion you
may encounter after your involvement in a medical error
Talk through what has happened with a dependable colleague or senior member of staff. This is not weakness. This represents appropriate professional behavior
Take part in a formal debriefing session. Try to draw conclusions and learn from this event. Ex..
If possible talk to your patient/their relatives and engage with them in open disclosure conversations
If you experience any uncertainties regarding the management of future cases seek support from colleagues or seniors
