外科医生职业生涯中最可预防的错误之一是在不正确的手术部位(ICSS)进行手术。没有任何专业的研究调查过低收入国家ICSS事件的发生率。这项研究的重点是确定这些事件的发生,并分析导致这些不幸事件的潜在原因。
作者向来自世界各地的神经外科同事分发了一份调查。这些外科医生首先被要求确定他们在自己的职业生涯中使用ICSS的实践和发生率以及个人经验的详细信息。调查结束时,他们回答了有关安全检查清单知识的问题。
在这项研究中,反应率为63.4%。当与那些通过各种社交媒体平台参与的人相结合时,有178个回答。在颅骨组中,每10,000例病例的发生率为22.8,宫颈组88.6,和158.8在腰椎手术组。这项研究发现,40%的参与者从未学习或经历过ABCD超时策略,60%的外科医生在他们的实践中没有使用术中导航或成像。在48%的ICSS病例中,从未向患者披露过错误。
由于缺乏安全检查表协议的应用,低收入国家的ICSS事件有所增加。这项研究的结果证明了投入时间和资源来避免可预防的错误的必要性。
One of the most preventable errors of a surgeon\'s career is operating on the incorrect surgical site (ICSS). No
study in any specialty has ever investigated the incidence of ICSS events in lower-income countries. This
study focuses on identifying the occurrence of these events along with an analysis of potential causes leading to these unfortunate events.
The authors distributed a survey to neurosurgical colleagues from around the world. These surgeons were first asked to identify details about their practice and incidence and personal experience with ICSS in their own careers. At the end of the survey, they responded to questions about their knowledge of safety checklists.
In this
study there was a 63.4% response rate. When combined with those who participated through various social media platforms, there were 178 responses. The incidence rate for every 10,000 cases performed was found to be 22.8 in the
cranial group, 88.6 in the cervical group, and 158.8 in the lumbar procedural group. This
study identified that 40% of participants had never learned or experienced the ABCD time-out strategy and that 60% of surgeons did not use intraoperative navigation or imaging in their practices. The error has never been disclosed to the patient in 48% of the ICSS cases.
Due to a lack of application of safety checklist protocol, there is an increased occurrence of ICSS events in lower-income countries. The results of this study demonstrate the necessity of investing time and resources dedicated to avoiding preventable errors.
