  6. Crises & emergencies in Anaesthesia • Unexpected, rapidly-evolving events requiring immediate intervention to prevent disaster • Simple / Complex • Challenging & stressful situations • Interplay of patient, anaesthetic & surgical factors • May be attributable to characteristics of the human condition • Prevention better than cure

  10. Crew Resource Management • CRM training has its origins in the late 1970s following a string of serious aviation accidents • Incidents were more frequently related to pilots' non-technical & communication skills rather than technical flying abilities or aircraft malfunctions

  12. SOS COVER ABCD – A SWIFT CHECK • Stop • Oxygen • Shout for help • Circulation, Capnograph & Colour (saturation) • Ventilation & Vapourisation • Endotracheal tube & Eliminate machine • Review monitors & equipment • Airway • Breathing • Circulation • Drugs (consider all given & not given) • Be Aware - Allergy, Air • SWIFT CHECK of patient, surgeon, process, responses

  18. Anaesthesia & Patient Safety • Risk assessment & stratification and pre-operative optimisation • Safety science • Simulation-based education & training • Development, implementation & promotion of checklists • Debriefing colleagues after they have experienced such challenging events • Challenging authority & speaking up in the OR environment • National audits, reporting & learning • Black-box recording in the OR • Impact of fatigue

  19. E is for Emergencies Take home messages: Crisis management resources on AAGBI.org Build CRM principles into your practice to improve performance & reduce error Get skilled at Human Factors: guidelines & protocols, courses, simulation & team training, checklists, incident reporting, alerts and M&M An introduction to crisis management • Special thanks to Dr Jane Lowery (Consultant Anaesthetist, RFH) and colleagues from Central London School of Anaesthesia
