Can the perception of risk be decreased among caregivers during anesthesia delivery?

The paper examines the different perceptions of
risk associated with anesthesia systems from the viewpoint of the
product manufacturer and the caregiver. Only little research has
been done with regard to the impact of perception of risk on
patient safety in anesthesia. The role of the manufacturer in
mitigating the perception of risk will be central to the work. Risk
will be examined as the probability of negative occurrences based
on the Medical Device Reportable (MDR) events and how the

Parallelism between risk and perception of risk among caregivers during anesthesia delivery

The paper examines the different perceptions of risk associated with anesthesia systems from the viewpoint of the product manufacturer and the caregiver. Only a little research has been done with regard to the impact of perception of risk on patient safety in anesthesia. The role of the manufacturer in mitigating the perception of risk will be central for the work.

Adverse Patient Events in Anesthesia Delivery - Review and Analysis of Potentially Avoidable Events

The paper examines the MDR (Medical Device Reporting) reportable events reported to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from medical device manufacturers and caregivers in the US market. A review of all MDRs reported between October 2014 and September 2019 is performed. The MDRs under analysis are related to adverse patient events, in particular to deaths and serious injuries. The study will provide a trend of patient safety as a result of the adverse patient events reported in the five considered years.
