Is 99,9% a standard of safety? • 0,1% errors could mean: • 20.000 wrong medicine prescriptions/year • 15.000 accidental fall of babies at hospitals/year • 500 wrong surgery/week • 2.000 lost documents/hour to our patients= 100% Rosenthal, Sutcliffe, 2002
WHERE DO WE HAVE TO INVEST? • STERILIZATION • Good quality infrastructure • First step: Cleaning process • Termodisinfection and ultrasonic cleaner
Perioperative • Preoperative and postoperative • A large number of qualified nurse professionals (perioperative nurses) • Surgical safety checklist • Prevention of surgical site infection • Postdischarge surveillance • Zinn, 2013
Intraoperative • Maintain normothermia • Use appropriative hair removal with electric clippers • Use appropriative selection and timing of preoperative antibiotics • Maintain glucose levels during surgery • Zinn, 2013
