Brief summary

This work highlighted the beneficial role in terms of carers' satisfaction, quantity and quality of information transmitted.

Detailed description

Communication and information transmission problems are responsible for the majority of serious adverse events. The use of a checklist in the operating theatre has demonstrated its benefit in terms of reducing morbidity and mortality Regarding transmissions between caregivers, numerous studies have shown the great difference between the medical data of a patient in their file and the information transmitted. The authors recommend using checklists in order to standardise transmissions. This work highlighted the beneficial role in terms of carers' satisfaction, quantity and quality of information transmitted. On the other hand, no study has looked at the reduction of immediate postoperative complications in post anaesthesia care units (PACU).

Interventions

OTHERWith or wiyhout a checklist

The evaluation of the impact of the use of this Checklist will be done in comparison with the standard transmission practice
