This On Demand Session will be along the format of a session with three speakers seen at previous ASMs. The theme will be the analysis of almost 9,000 anaesthetic incident reports with topics including not only emergency crises that arise during anaesthesia, but also Assessment, Documentation, Infrastructure and System incidents. The session will show how to formally analyse incidents using Bowtie Diagrams as well as the WebAIRS Anaesthetic Alerts features which provide rapid feedback to users of the system. As well as the topics mentioned earlier there will also be Bowtie Diagrams to illustrate the management of difficult airways, anaphylaxis, and COVID-19.
