Below are Quality and Patient Committee Safety Bulletins. Each bulletin will be accompanied by key resources related to its field. 

This Safety Bulletin initiative is in collaboration with CAIRS (Canadian Anesthetic Incident Reporting System). Our objective is to alert physicians to important safety events, recent trends, and whenever possible to provide guidance and or access to resources worth discussing (maybe even implementing) at a local level. These will also appear in select issues of the Anesthesia News. All files open as PDFs.
