Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The operating room (OR) is a demanding and time-constrained setting, in comparison to primary care settings, where perioperative medication administration is more complicated and there is a high risk that the patient will experience a medication error.

Without consulting the pharmacist or seeking assistance from other staff members, anesthesia clinicians prepare, deliver, and monitor strong anesthetic drugs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The operating room (OR) is a demanding and time-constrained setting, in comparison to primary care settings, where perioperative medication administration is more complicated and there is a high risk that the patient will experience a medication error. Anesthesia clinicians prepare, deliver, and monitor strong anesthetic drugs without consulting pharmacists or seeking assistance from other staff members.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of medication administration errors by anesthetists and associated factors in referral and teaching hospitals in the Amhara region of, Ethiopia.
