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

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
