Update of WHO Surgical Safety Checklist
From Isabel Van Rie:
Hi Thomas, I am currently working on updating some patient positioning slides for an IMN discussion of the Basic ORP Course. I try to always check the latest information on Surgery Reference to make sure we display aligned information. While doing this, I noticed that the pictures used in SR on the Surgical Safety Checklist from WHO is outdated. At least on page WHO Surgical Safety Checklist https://surgeryreference.aofoundation.org/orthopedic-trauma/adult-trauma/further-reading/who-surgical-safety-checklist. The most recent checklist of WHO dates from 2009 (I know it is also a long time ago, but that is what they have currently on their website on https://www.who.int/teams/integrated-health-services/patient-safety/research/safe-surgery/tool-and-resources I have gone briefly gone through the pictures on SR and noticed at least in the "Before skin incision" stage an important change. Here they work now in teams.
