| Sommario/riassunto: | The VA National Center for Patient Safety has requested an evidence review to examine the prevalence and the root causes of wrong site surgery, retained surgical items, and surgical fires. The evidence review also evaluates current guidelines and the effectiveness of interventions for the prevention of these events. Studies examining VA-specific data were of special interest. The evidence synthesis will be used to develop a standardized, single, strong recommendation to VA facilities in the effort to eliminate these events. The key questions are: Key Question 1. What is the prevalence of: wrong site surgery, retained surgical items, and surgical fires? Key Question 2. What are the identified root causes of: wrong site surgery, retained surgical items, and surgical fires? Key Question 3. What is the quality of current guidelines in use to prevent wrong site surgery, retained surgical items, and surgical fires? Key Question 4. What is the effectiveness of the individually identified interventions for the prevention of wrong site surgery, retained surgical items, and surgical fires? |
