“…In this sense, it is important to point out the emphasis of nurses on the need for greater involvement of surgeons and anesthetists in the quest for patient safety in the operating room. This result may be related to the lack of knowledge about protocols and/or patient safety checklists in the operating room, as evidenced in an Indian study (18) . In addition, many surgeons and anesthetists operate sporadically in operating rooms according to their specialties, without a greater involvement in organizational discussions about patient safety.…”

“…The surgical safety checklist is one of the tools designed to enhance patient safety through prevention of healthcare-related adverse events; but in a survey of 502 Brazilian orthopaedic surgeons attending the 44th Brazilian congress of orthopedics and traumatology in 2012 [20], as much as 65.3% were unaware of the surgical safety checklist introduced by the WHO in 2009. Similarly, in a cross-sectional study involving surgeons attending a conference in India in 2014, whereas only 57% (81/142) of the surgeons had heard about the WHO surgical safety checklist only 32% (45/142) of them used it in their surgical practice [21]. This statistics mirrors the trend in other low and middle- income countries (LMICs) as shown by abysmally low implementation of the surgical safety checklist, even in referral hospitals in sub-saharan Africa [22].…”
