What are the incidence, types, and risk factors for critical incidents during anaesthesia and surgery?
The incidence of critical incidents in anaesthesia is 0.5%, with higher risk in older patients, those with ASA score III or above, and those undergoing urgent or abdominal surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Updated incidence benchmarks inform perioperative vigilance; leaves open whether risk-targeted protocols reduce events in high-ASA or urgent cases.
Maaløe et al. (2006) studied this question.
