Patient Safety Through Education
Robert C. Bosack, DDS
The delivery of anesthesia in any setting is not without risk. The environment is complex, uncertain and ever-changing. Human performance of this potentially hazardous task can be unpredictable and imperfect, especially in times of urgency, intensity and time-pressure. Risk and Human Error cannot be eliminated. Risk and Human Error can be reduced and managed, by eliminating a culture of blame and punishment and replacing it with a culture of vigilance and cooperation to expose and remediate systems weaknesses, which, in combination, often lead to error and injury. This presentation will explore various aspects anesthetic risk identification, management and reduction.

Course Description: This presentation will introduce the art of administering a propofol-remifentanil admixture by microbolus and continuous infusion to achieve a dose-dependent choice of moderate sedation, deep sedation or general anesthesia. Doses, caveats, limitations, complications and monitoring during this exciting technique will be reviewed. The premise is obvious: when used properly, this technique markedly improves anesthetic control for both short and long cases, thereby increasing safety.
