  1. WELCOME……... Please take a moment to write down all the little (or not so little!) mistakes you have made in the last 2 days when you were NOT at work

  2. TYPES OF ERRORS • Slips, lapses, fumbles • Attention lapse, unintended action • Rule-based mistakes • Think you know what you're doing, but fail to notice contra-indications, apply a bad 'rule' or fail to apply a good 'rule' • Knowledge based mistakes • Novel situations • Not sure or clearly don’t know what you're doing • Violations • Deliberate rule breaking

  3. HUMAN FACTORS IN HEALTH CARE • Error is the downside of having a brain • limited memory capacity • limited processing capacity • confounding factors - stress, fatigue, culture • Medical environment • stress - loss of situational awareness • tendency to defend perception • doctors trained to be flawless • lack of trust in others

  5. ERROR TRAPPING Lines of Defence

  6. Case 1Liver Biopsy • 10 year old boy with hepatomegaly ?hepatitis • Booked for liver biopsy (with prolonged APTT) • Ordered on medication chart: • 10mg IV vitamin K - • 2 units FFP -

  8. Case 1Liver Biopsy • 1810h Code Blue (pre MET) • Pale, barely conscious • Returned to Operating theatre • 2 litres of clotted blood & ascites in abdomen

  9. Some holes due to active failures Liver biopsy FFP ward FFP OT Clinical status Resuscitation Culture Processes Training Communication Shock OT Training Other holes due to latent conditions Successive layers of defence James Reason - Human Error 1990

  10. Case 2 Pyloric stenosis • 4 wk old baby • Pyloric stenosis diagnosed in ED • Intravenous fluid requested by surgeon commencing with a 10mL/kg bolus over ½ hr (infant’s weight 4kg) • Bolus of fluid written by staff A as “N Saline 400 ml IV over 1/2 hour”
