The 4 Common Reasons For Surgical Errors
Insufficient Preoperative Planning
A surgeon should be well prepared for surgery that includes
reviewing, and preparing for, any complications that are likely to
occur. The nurses and assistants should be properly prepared to
ensure all the necessary equipments are ready and easily available
when needed.
Improper Work Process
When it comes to surgery taking shortcuts can be quite costly.
Surgeons may sometimes skip the necessary steps during surgery.
Poor Communication
A number of critical errors are caused due to failure to
communicate properly. For instance, a surgeon may mark wrong site
for surgery or make sure equipments are handled properly. There can
also be lack of communication about proper dosage of a patients
medicine.
Fatigue
Fatigue is a common issue, as the surgeons have to work in long
shifts which results in fatigue. Tired people make more mistakes as
when compared with well-rested people.
