1 How important is verification of correct site surgery marking? By Veronica Mac-Quarshie Moteclife UK June,2008
2 PLAN Definitions Background Risk Factors Causes of wrong site surgery Effects on patient and staff Prevention Who is responsible for marking Recommendation Conclusion Reference
3 What is correct site surgery? Correct site surgery is operation on the correct side of the patient and/or the correct anatomical location or level (such as correct finger on the correct hand).
4 Background NPSA evidence base The NPSA`s National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS)pilot study in 28 acute NHS organisation between September2001 and June,2002 resulted in 44 patient safety incidents related to wrong procedure site, operating list consent patient name notes
5 Risk Factors Use of abbreviations Lack of departmental policies Miscommunication among team members and the patient Problems relating to illegible hand writing Inadequate medical record review
6 Continuation Of Risk Factors Time pressure or emergencies Inadequate method for final confirmation of the surgical site Incorrect side annotated on the operating list Performing multiple procedure on multiple parts of a patient during a single surgical encounter Incorrect labelling of images, including x-rays, scans etc. Over reliance on the operating surgeon for determining the correct surgical site.
7 Effects on patients and staff Patients The effects on patients are devastating these are: Physical Psychological Social Death
8 Staff This is clinical negligence. The effects on staff are devastating. These are: court action possibly loosing your registration or imprisonment Psychological Social Financial (NMC,2004)
9 Contraindication There maybe circumstances where marking may not be appropriate. Examples : Emergency surgery should not be delayed due to lack of preoperative marking Teeth and mucous membranes Cases of bilateral simultaneous organ surgery such as bilateral tonsillectomy, squint surgery Situations where the laterality of surgery needs to be confirmed following examination under anaesthesia or exploration in theatre such as revision of squint correction (Afpp,2007).
10 Recommendation Staff awareness Education
11 Conclusion Effective communication among multidisciplinary surgical team will lead to correct site surgery, quality patient care, quality patient life, save resources and inner joy for the multidisciplinary surgical team.
