Our anesthesia practices are always based on patient safety in WHO surgical and anesthesia guidelines. Those guidelines are interpreted in checklists and protocols that could be applied in daily routine in every standard operating theaters. A surgical patient would be notified and identified during the surgery by all member of the operating room including the anesthesiologist through a specialized checklists which was called a safety surgical checklist usually done in the preparation room, signing in, 5 minutes for timeout before the incision, and the last sign out before closure stitching. Anesthesia conduct and monitoring is viewed as a part of the whole surgery practice.
