13 Critical Incident Reporting System

14 Incident Reporting in Anaesthesia Safety in anaesthesia: a study of 12,606 reported incidents from the UK National Reporting and Learning System Catchpole K, Bell MD, Johnson S. The incident reporting database at the National Patient Safety Agency 12,606 reports over a 2-year period 22.5% resulted in little harm or a moderate degree of harm 2.1% resulted in severe harm or death procedure or treatment problems generating the highest risk Anaesthesia Apr;63(4):340-6.

15 Cost of critical incidents in ICU Academic, tertiary care urban hospital Costs Medical ICU Cardiac Care Unit Per Patient Per Year 3,961 $ 3,857 $ 853,000 $ 630,000 $ Kaushal R et.al. Crit Care Med 2007;35:

16 What exactly are Critical Incidents?

17 Hazard vs. incident

18 Critical incident??

19 Critical incident!!!

20 Critical event Occurrence Error Side effect Event Deviation Complication Critical Incident Near miss Adverse Event

21 Organisation, Rules Normal state (Software) Technique (Hardware) Error Danger. Situation Non-Routine- Patient Near Miss Yes Operations Defences? (instituted, passiv) Algorithms, SOP s, Technique... No Yes (Environment) Critical Incident Recoveries? (creative, activ) Human, Team, Communication No (Lifeware) Accident

26 CIRRNET Critical Incident Reporting and Reacting NETwork

27 CIRRNET - Approach Data-Extraction from local incident systems (Defined minimal data set) Pooling of these incidents nationally Learning by distribution of individual cases Detection of hot spots Analysis / Synthesis by experts from anaesthesiology Recommendations ( Quick-Alerts )

32 Pattern recognition Look-alike drugs:

33 Case 1 10-years old boy for minor urologic procedure I.v. Induction without problems LMA placement easy Difficulties with ventilation

34 Case 1 10-years old boy for minor urologic procedure I.v. Induction without problems LMA placement easy Difficulties with ventilation Removal of the LMA Chewing gum on the tip of the LMA

35 Children love chewing gum...

36 Some animals, too...

40 Case 3

41 Conditions for Incident Reporting Voluntary Anonymous No punishment / blamefree Easy to use Feedback of information

42 Strenghts of Incident Reporting Number compared with accidents Root causes Training potential Recoveries Cost!! /

43 Weaknesses of Incident Reporting Underreporting Bias No Risk-Controlling tool Analysis

44 Analysis of Critical Incidents What does such an analysis of an incident datapool mean? Frequency of Critical Incidents Medication incident Technical event Communication event Organisational event Hygiene incidents Other 30 % 10 % 20 % 20 % 10 % 10 %

45 Analysis of Critical Incidents What do such numbers on a hospital level mean? Number of Critical Incidents reported per year Hospital A Hospital B Hospital C

46 Analysis of Critical Incidents Threat? Risk? Safety? Reporting Compliance?

47 Analysis of Critical Incidents Open questions: - Which cases will NOT be reported? - How many cases happen at all? per day? per unit? per hospital?

48 Counting Incidents is a waste of time. Charles Billings Former president of the Aeromedical Space Association

49 Learning through analysis

50 Who is guilty?

51 The Front-end operator? The user? The innocent bystander? The technique? Courtesy Marcus Rall, Tübingen The contractor?

73 Summary

74 What can we learn from Critical Incidents? Critical incidents... have a huge learning potential point on exisiting or emerging risks are collection of single cases (statistics make no sense) serve as a window to the system
