Advancements in Anesthesia Safety Practices

I’ve been reading about new protocols regarding anesthesia administration and their impact on perioperative patient safety. For instance, implementing the use of checklists before induction has shown to significantly reduce errors — i’m curious if anyone else has experienced similar improvements in their facilities or has insights into best practices.

We started using checklists too, and it’s like teaching a cat to fetch — unexpected but incredibly rewarding! I’ve noticed fewer last-minute hiccups during procedures since we implemented them. Have you found any resistance from the team when adopting these new protocols?
