Résumé |
Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are being asked to use a safe surgical checklist in 2012 and to report that it has been used in 2013. Checklists should focus on communication and safe surgery practices in each of 3 perioperative periods: (1) before administration of anesthesia, (2) before skin incision, and (3) the period of incision closure and before the patient leaves the operating room. This article reviews the origin of surgical checklists. It examines evidence that indicates that checklists decrease the incidence of human errors, mortality, and morbidity.
