6 Focus on Error Prevention- Not RCA after an Event Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) 2006 Dangers of Postoperative Opioids Opioid-Induced postoperative respiratory depression is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality Postoperative Opioids need system wide overhaul Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (2012) the conclusions and recommendations of APSE are that intermittent spot checks of oxygenation (pulse oximetry) are not adequate for reliability recognizing clinically significant evolving drug-induced respiratory depression in the post-operative period. Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) One reason why it (periodic spot checks by caregivers and pulse oximetry) is not effective is that a periodic check and pulse oximetry would only catch an error, not prevent the error & 2.

When supplemental oxygen is indicated, monitoring of ventilation may warrant the use of technology designed to assess breathing or estimate arterial carbon dioxide concentrations. Continuous monitoring is most important for the highest risk patients, but depending on clinical judgment, should be applied to other patients Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System, Inc.
