National pediatric anesthesia safety quality improvement program in the United States. Kurth, C. D., Tyler, D., Heitmiller, E., Tosone, S. R., Martin, L., & Deshpande, J. K. Anesthesia and Analgesia, 119(1):112--121, July, 2014. 00015 doi abstract bibtex BACKGROUND: As pediatric anesthesia has become safer over the years, it is difficult to quantify these safety advances at any 1 institution. Safety analytics (SA) and quality improvement (QI) are used to study and achieve high levels of safety in nonhealth care industries. We describe the development of a multiinstitutional program in the United States, known as Wake-Up Safe (WUS), to determine the rate of serious adverse events (SAE) in pediatric anesthesia and to apply SA and QI in the pediatric anesthesia departments to decrease the SAE rate. METHODS: QI was used to design and implement WUS in 2008. The key drivers in the design were an organizational structure; an information system for the SAE; SA to characterize the SAE; QI to imbed high-reliability care; communications to disseminate the learnings; and engaged leadership in each department. Interventions for the key drivers, included Participation Agreements, Patient Safety Organization designation, IRB approval, Data Management Co., membership fee, SAE standard templates, SA and QI workshops, and department leadership meetings. RESULTS: WUS has 19 institutions, 39 member anesthesiologists, 734 SAE, and 736,365 anesthetics as of March, 2013. The initial members joined at year 1, and initial SAE were recorded by year 2. The SAE rate is 1.4 per 1000 anesthetics. Of SAE, respiratory was most common, followed by cardiac arrest, care escalation, and cardiovascular, collectively 76% of SAE. In care escalation, medication errors and equipment dysfunction were 89%. Of member anesthesiologists, 70% were trained in SA and QI by March 2013; virtually, none had SA and QI expertise before joining WUS. CONCLUSION: WUS documented the incidence and types of SAE nationally in pediatric anesthesiology. Education and application of QI and SA in anesthesia departments are key strategies to improve perioperative safety by WUS.
