outline for what ?
Prevention and treatment
The lack of a disciplined method of openly attacking problems ?
Breeds more problems
Protocols are answers to what?
Problems
Emergency protocols should be?

How should protocols be written?
In a form that is easy to read, implement and follow.
To ensure everyone has read and understands the existing protocol, __________ should be performed on
a regular basis.
drills
What are the stated 4 benefits of practice drills?
- Educating the surgical team on new techniques and procedures.
- Shortening reaction time in emergencies
- Evaluating the existing protocol
- Enhancing communication between different members of the surgical team.
What should be utilized prior to bypass.
Checklist
Designing and implementing protocols should not be considered merely a legal issue
but also a ?

device?

Comparing this study with the 1986 Kurusz study, how have incident resulting in serious injury or death changed?
To what may we attribute this decline?
Decreased
Safety devices
What was the overall incident rate of the Mejak study?
1 : 138 CPB procedures
Because of the difficulty in predicting arterial related incidents in clinical practice, what do the authors
recommend perfusionist do?
Prepare a plan of action for yourself and the operating room in case this occurs.
