W.H.O. Issues a Checklist to Make Operations Safer
The World Health Organization issued a list of safety checks last week that aims to reduce complications and deaths from the rising numbers of operations now being performed worldwide. The list entails safety checks that will improve anesthetic safety, avoid infections and improve communication among surgical team members. According to W.H.O., these safety checks could halve the rate of surgical complications.
With the new safety checks, standards of practice in hospitals will mostly like change…the question is how it will change it.
