Discussion on the Establishment of Patient Safety Prevention Mechanism in Operating Room
Patient safety in the operating room faces multi-dimensional challenges,mainly including poor communication,decision-making errors caused by cognitive bias,and technical operation errors,etc.To address these issues,healthcare organizations need to adopt structured communication skills with closed-loop communication and standardized verification processes to reduce errors.Cognitive error management attaches importance to the analysis and correction of decision-making process,and is supplemented by technical means to assist difficult surgical operations.In addition,strict instrument inspection,the implementation of safety verification briefings and post-operation summaries are essential to prevent errors.Non-technical skill development,such as reducing surgical distractions,maintaining a high level of situational awareness and effectively managing fatigue,is also important.Specific risks,such as surgical site confusion,medication errors and surgery-related injuries,require specific prevention and control strategies.By establishing a sound incident reporting system,following best evidence-based practices,and conducting team training and simulation exercises,the safety culture can be further consolidated and the operating room safety management level can be comprehensively improved.
