Abstract

<p>This issue introduces a novel anesthesia handover checklist and the results of a survey of anesthesiologists after the checklist’s introduction. A survey was first conducted to determine the baseline situation among anesthesiologists. After that, the novel checklist was installed in each operating room and department members were encouraged to utilize it during anesthesia handovers. Three months later, the survey was readministered to investigate anesthesiologists’ response to the novel checklist. The proportion of anesthesiologists who felt that the handover was “inappropriate” decreased from 86% to 41%. The percentage of anesthesiologists who“encountered an unexpected situation due to inadequate handover” decreased from 69% to 33%. Ninety percent of the anesthesiologists surveyed indicated that they would like to continue using the novel checklist. The introduction of the novel handover checklist increased the proportion of anesthesiologists who felt handovers to be appropriate. The utilization of this novel checklist may lead to an increased awareness of appropriate anesthesia handovers.</p>
