Abstract:

The review is devoted to mostly international data on patient safety during surgical procedures. The author emphasizes surgical safety checklist for surgical interventions as a tool developed by the WHO team. The principal objective of this document is protection of patients from harm following unintended misses and casual circumstances. The author tried to explain the basic principles and ideas underlying the checklist procedure. An importance of understanding the process by administration and surgical team is emphasized because its absence deprives this non-complicated and helpful procedure of necessary sense. The problems of patient safety in hospitals of the Russian Federation are also discussed.

Keywords:
