Safety and Surgical Checklists
Goals and Objectives Care of Neurosurgical Patient Pre, Intra, and Post-Operative Checklists Validated Tools in the Neurosurgical Setting Environments particular to Neurosurgery Neuromonitoring Intra-Operative MRI Sub-specialty Specific Considerations for Process Quality
Surgical Checklists Surgical Time Out (WHO and JCAHO) Components Prospective Data on 7688 surgical patients Death 1.5% to 0.8%; Complications 11% to 7% Components Correct Patient, Procedure, and Surgical Site Specialty Specific Checklists Adverse Event Division of Labor Intra-Procedural Aneurysm Rupture
Checklist Practice Challenges UCLA Prospective Experience Cultural Change: Who leads surgical pause? Practice Change: 3-5 minute completion Standardization of Time Out Potential for Smart Tailored Checklists
