Freedom of information request details
FOI request date:
The following information was requested:
Just seen this latest publication of yours. I’m wondering if you could provide me with the data that contributed to the ‘anaesthetic errors’ please? NHS Resolution – Did you know? Paediatric medicine errors
(…)
I am referring to the page headed “Which specialty results in the most claims?” The text immediately below this heading includes ‘anaesthetics’ as a common medical specialty in which errors occur.
My query is essentially an elaboration on this data, i.e. those claims originating from anaesthesia as a specialty in which a drug error occurred. (…) I wondered if you could comment on which drugs are commonly mis-prescribed; what age of child tends to be most susceptible to such errors; whether errors are more common outside of a tertiary setting (versus a district general hospital say); and whether errors are associated with specific surgical procedures.
