Audit of International Intraoperative Hemotherapy and Blood Loss Documentation

The investigator hypotheses anesthetic records do not contain detailed information on hemotherapy and blood loss estimation. Therefore anesthetic records will be collected from different institutions and analyzed for items concerning hemotherapy contained.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Patient Safety; Patient Blood Management
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Observational Trial

Detailed Description

The anaesthetic record is the primary way anesthetists document and communicate information regarding hemotherapy. Records vary in content and design. Several organizations published recommendations, but perioperative hemotherapy is not sufficiently detailed for the purpose.

Anesthetic records will be analyzed for 20 defined hemotherapy and monitoring items by two independent investigators. Disagreements will be resolved by a the principle investigator.
