The Cardiovascular and Interventional Society of Europe (CIRSE) has developed an interventional radiology safety checklist to reduce procedural complications.
Should prompt integration of the CIRSE checklist into routine IR practice; extends surgical safety checklist evidence to interventional radiology.
Interventional radiology (IR) is an invasive speciality with the potential for complications as with other invasive specialities. The World Health Organization (WHO) produced a surgical safety checklist to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with surgery. The Cardiovascular and Interventional Society of Europe (CIRSE) set up a task force to produce a checklist for IR. Use of the checklist will, we hope, reduce the incidence of complications after IR procedures. It has been modified from the WHO surgical safety checklist and the RAD PASS from Holland.
