Wrong-Site Surgeries: How to End the Tragedy?

According to Ginde, Clark and Camargo (2009), language barriers due to limited non-English and English have a negative impact on medical access, especially in the emergency room. . The law requires that interpreters be available in all emergency rooms in most provinces, but its use is still very limited (Ginde, Clark, and Camargo, 2009). Therefore, Davies and Milligan (2013) greatly improved the medical quality and access of this patient group, especially in the emergency room, using planning, implementation, research, methodological development of the law and easy-to-use language recognition tools It is.

In the United States, it is estimated that incorrect surgery and erroneous surgery are occurring at a rate of 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 100,000 (1, 2). In the analysis of the Sentinel incident reported between 1995 and 2006, the WHO Joint Certification Committee discovered that over 13% of reported adverse events were due to incorrect field surgery (3). Analysis of 126 erroneous or erroneous surgeries in 2005 showed that 76% of the surgery was done in the wrong place and 13% was done in the wrong surgery.

During medical provision, various patient safety problems occur. They include transfusion errors and harmful drug events; dislocation surgery and surgical damage; preventable suicide; inhibited injury or death; nosocomial infection or other treatment related infections; and falls, burns, compression ulcers, and mistakes Identity. Leape et al. Various errors in medical practice research causing medical injury have been described as diagnosis, treatment, prevention or other errors (see Box 2.1).

Safety is an important aspect of medical quality in complex hospital environments. Incorrect surgery, incorrect surgery, and incorrect patient surgery are catastrophic for patients, health care workers and medical institutions. Given that complications are often related to increased hospitalization days and costs, this reduction in morbidity can lead to cost savings that offset the expected data collection costs. Data suggest that at least half of the surgical complications may be avoided. Previous efforts to reduce surgical site infection or anesthesia-related accidents have been shown to significantly reduce complications
