Abstract Backgound: Surgical and anesthetic safety has improved significantly in the last few decades. Examples of important safety advances include improved surgical techniques, technology for patient monitoring such as pulse oximetry to prevent hypoxemia and fail-safe systems such as pin-indexing systems for gas cylinders and lines to prevent delivery of hypoxic gas mixtures. Teamwork between anesthesiologists, surgeons, and nurses also improves operating room safety. Aim of the Work: The aim of the work is to highlight the recent guidelines taken for the safety in the operation theatre and the most dangerous problems faced with anesthesia and the ideal way to deal with them. Conclusion: The operating theatre is supposed to be used by the anesthesia and surgical teams and must not be used for other purpose. An OR requires the following: Good lighting, ventilation, dedicated equipment for procedures, equipment to monitor patients required for the procedure, drugs and other consumables for routine and emergency use |
