The investigators are aimed to evaluate the anaesthesia-related quality control indicators and adverse events, in terms of its incidence, changes, causes, risk factors and preventability in Central China, using a series of annual surveys.
The investigators prospectively collected information on patient, surgical, anaesthesia, and hospital characteristics for all anaesthesia procedures performed in all certified facilities in Central China. All available data of patients who had anaesthesia were gathered monthly from anaesthesia quality control groups that provide services to all certified facilities and were reviewed.
All anaesthesia-related adverse events were scrutinized consecutively to determine their root causes and preventability. The incidence and patterns of anaesthesia-related quality control indicators and adverse events were analysed.
