Alarm Fatigue

Alarm fatigue is a well known threat to patient safety. It occures when clinicians are exposed to an excessive number of alarms, which can result in desensitization to the firing alarms.  Desensitization can lead to longer response times or failure to acknowledge important alarms. Patient deaths have been attributed to alarm fatigue.

Kids Save Lives

Sudden cardiac death is one of the major issues in global health care. One of the most important steps in increasing the rate of bystander resuscitation and improving survival worldwide is to educate all school children. This can be easily done by educating them – beginning  at the age of 12 years – for just two hours per year

Helsinki Declaration

The Helsinki Declaration on Patient Safety in Anaesthesiology emphasises the role of anaesthesiology in promoting safe perioperative care. The EUPSF representatives took active role in the development and promotion of the Declaration and provide continuous support to the Patient Safety and Quality Committee of the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA).

Theatre Cap Challenge

Names and roles on theatre caps prevent the possibility of mix-ups when staff members have the same first name and also facilitates handover of patients.

A side benefit is that it improves camaraderie and collaboration in the operating theatre.

Cardiac Arrest Call

Establishing a standard “Cardiac Arrest Call” telephone number for all hospitals in Europe 2222 is of utmost importance. The “cardiac arrest call” number should be instinctive for doctors and nurses – just like the 112 number is in Europe for the general population.
