Abstract

Goal. On the basis of a foreign prototype, to develop our own, adapted to domestic conditions, trigger mechanism for retrospective identification of adverse events that already happened to patients in the perioperative period in the past.

Materials and methods. The second edition of the Global Trigger Instrument of the USA’s Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) has been taken as a foreign prototype.

Results. The anesthetic-surgical version adapted to the national conditions as well as the needs of the anesthesiology service of Ukraine and presented in the form of the «Perioperative trigger tool» consisting of 43 triggers stratified into 4 modules for the retrospective identification of various groups of incidents has been developed.

Conclusion. The version of the Global Trigger Instrument presented in the work is an innovative for Ukraine mechanism of the retrospective identification of patient safety incidents that may become a prototype for similar initiatives in other medical specialties.
