Does prospective routine registration of incidents during cardiopulmonary bypass provide a useful quality assurance instrument?
Prospective routine registration of incidents during cardiopulmonary bypass is a valuable quality assurance tool that identifies safety deviations.
Svenmarker et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Cardiopulmonary bypass (n=6,918). Prospective routine registration of incidents was evaluated on Incidents or deviations from the normal course during cardiopulmonary bypass. Prospective routine registration of incidents during 6,918 cardiopulmonary bypass procedures revealed a general incidence rate of 4.5-7.6% per year, with fatal outcomes in 0.03% of cases.
