Safety in Anaesthesia
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
From the first reported anaesthesia mishap onwards (Hannah Greener about 170 years ago) anaesthesiologists were always concerned about the safety of their patients. Anaesthesia - related mortality is always an important public health concern and the fact is that it's preventable most of the time. Over the years, things have evolved drastically in favour of patient's safety, thanks to the untiring work of anaesthesiology fraternity. Awareness by the lay public and medical administrators also played a major role.
