High-quality training of anaesthesiologist-resuscitator is one of main components of safety of anaesthesia

Abstract

Purpose. To conduct an analysis and research aimed at improving the safety of patients during anesthesia by optimizing training in clinical residency in the specialty of anesthesiology and resuscitation. Particular attention was paid to the human factor, as one of the causes of errors and complications in anesthesiology and resuscitation.Material and methods. An additional and more detailed analysis of error factors is carried out using a list of associated error factors. We have developed a special questionnaire for an anonymous survey of clinical residents and anesthesiologists and resuscitators. With its help, we intended to find out what personal qualities an ‘ideal’ anesthesiologist-resuscitator should have.Results. A more in-depth analysis data showed that the most common cause of errors was a lack of practice, in second place there are personal factors, in third place there is a lack of knowledge, and in at last place there are organizational factors. According to the results of an anonymous survey of clinical residents and anesthesiologists, it was established that ‘knowledge’ and ‘skills (abilities)’ are the main factors in ensuring the safety of patients during anesthesia.Conclusions. Questioning should be recognized as an objective, simple and not requiring additional financial costs way to assess a number of social qualities and factors. Training and educating them of the necessary personal qualities of anesthesiologists and resuscitators is one of the most important components of ensuring the safety of anesthesia.
