Anesthesia — Foundation of Discipline
F6b Anticipating, preventing and managing common or expected intraoperative events and physiologic changes during non-complex cases
Key Features:
- The observation of this EPA is divided into two parts: patient care; reflection on
patient safety.
- This EPA focuses on
o Recognition and independent management of common or anticipated intraoperative events such as hypo/hypertension, tachycardia, bradycardia, bronchospasm, hypoxemia, ischemia, circuit disconnection, patient awareness and effects of medications (Part A)
o Broader thinking around system issues contributing to adverse events and how patient safety could be improved (Part B). The observation of the reflection on patient safety is based on the resident’s submission to a supervisor of a description of a patient safety incident or near miss, reflecting on contributing factors, potential improvements to enhance patient safety, and the intrinsic CanMEDs roles (professional, collaborator, communicator, health advocate, leader, and scholar). This must include debriefing the reflection with the supervisor.
Relation with other EPAs: This EPA builds on knowledge and skills demonstrated through completion of EPA TTD «monitoring adult patients»
