Popis: | As the number and complexity of cases performed in the nonoperating room environment continue to increase to a higher share of all anesthetic procedures, checklists are needed to ensure staff and patient safety.Providing anesthesia care in the nonoperating room environment poses specific challenges. Closed claims data base analysis shows a higher morbidity and mortality in this setting. This is driven by the location-related challenges, and critical patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures, as well as a higher percentage of emergency and after-hours procedures. Although adequate case preparation and maintaining the same standard of care as in the main operating room, establishing protocols and checklists for procedures in nonoperating room locations has emerged as a sound strategy in improving care and safety.Anesthesia in the nonoperating room environment is becoming an increasing share of total anesthesia cases. Establishing protocols and implementing site-specific checklists is emerging as a strategy in improving care in the environment of nonoperating room.http://links.lww.com/COAN/A89 . |
