Critical incidents in paediatric anaesthesia: an audit of 10 000 anaesthetics in Singapore.
We undertook an audit of paediatric perioperative incidents in the first 10000 anaesthetics administered in KK Women's and Children's Hospital in Singapore between May 1997 and April 1999. The spectrum of surgery performed ranged from simple ambulatory surgery to open heart surgery for complicated congenital heart diseases. ⋯ Future reviews of a larger patient population may be helpful to determine trends of perioperative events and whether quality assurance programs have made a difference.
