  1. SAFE ANAESTHESIA PRACTICE Dr.J.Edward Johnson

  2. What do you mean by that ? • Safety of the Anaesthetist ? • Safety of the Surgeon ? • Safety of the Patient ?

  3. SAFE ANAESTHESIA PRACTICE • Protocals • Crisis Management • Tips and Tricks for Anaesthesia

  4. PROTOCALS

  5. International Standards for a Safe Practice of Anaesthesia 2010 • Developed by the International Task Force on Anaesthesia Safety • Adopted by the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA)

  6. International Standards for a Safe Practice of Anaesthesia 2010 The goal always in any setting is to practice to the highest possible standards

  7. "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" • Minimum standards that would be expected in all anaesthesia care for elective surgical procedures • “Mandatory" standards

  8. Peri-anaesthetic care and monitoring standards • Pre-anaesthetic care • Pre-anaesthesia checks • Monitoring during anaesthesia

  9. Pre-anaesthesia checks PRE ANAESTHETIC CHECK LIST Patient name ________________ Number ___________ Date of Birth ­__/__/__ Procedure____________________________________ Site_______

  10. Monitoring during anaesthesia • Oxygenation • Airway and ventilation • Circulation • Temperature • Neuromuscular function • Depth of anaesthesia • Audible signals and alarms

  11. 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

  12. Crisis Management during anaesthesia

  13. Crisis Management • Crisis Management Manual developedby Australian Patient Safety Foundation Qual Saf Health Care 2005;14 • Working groups from several countries including the USA, UK and Australia after analysing incident reports from the 4000 Australian Incident Monitoring Study (AIMS) reports and designed Core Algorithm & 24 Sub-Algorithms

  14. Crisis Management Manual‘‘Core’’ algorithm - COVER ABCD – A SWIFT CHECK Crisis management algorithm ‘‘COVER ABCD’’

  15. Crisis management algorithm ‘‘COVER ABCD’’

  16. Sub Algorithm – Crisis Management

  17. Crisis management manual Ref. • Crisis management during anaesthesia: the development of an Anaesthetic Crisis Management Manual http://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/14/3/e1.full.html • Anaesthesia Crisis Management Manual http://www.apsf.com.au/crisis_management/Crisis_Management_Start.htm • This article cites 42 articles, 30 of which can be accessed free at:http://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/14/3/e1.full.html#ref-list-1

  18. Where Safety Starts ? Patient Surgeon’s Skill Facilities, Equipment, and Medications Anaesthetist’s Skill

  19. Survival Depends....... Referal 10% HELP 10% 20% Anaesthetist Skill 60% Facilities, Equipment, and Medications Quantity and Quality

  20. Where Safety Starts ? Patient - Optimized patient (CVS, RS, Renal, Liver) ASA risk Well controlled Hypertension Well controlled Diabetes Haemodynamically stabilsed

  21. Medication • All 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.

  22. Anaesthetist Skill • Learn one or two alternate method of Airway skill • Practice it in routine cases

  23. Post Crisis

  24. Counseling • 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 .

  25. Recommendations for senior staff members • 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..

  26. Recommendations for colleagues • 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

  27. Recommendations for healthcare professionals directly involved in an adverse 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 behaviour • 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
