Brief Summary: Implementation of a standardized handover checklist for intraoperative anesthesia care transition attenuates burnout among anesthesiologists and improves postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing major surgery , both of which benefit the quality of patient care and the development of anesthesiology.
Detailed Description: Many retrospective studies have demonstrated that among adults undergoing major surgery, complete handover of intraoperative anesthesia care compared with no handover was associated with a higher risk of adverse postoperative outcomes. Anesthesiologists keeping on working without handovers may experience symptoms of burnout which do not only pose a threat to the mental and physical health of the anesthesiologist, but also result in sub-optimal safety care of patients. Poor-quality handover without standardized processes can lead to diagnostic and therapeutic delays and precipitate adverse events. An improved system of anesthesia standardized handovers using a checklist would improve transfer of information and professional responsibility and therefore lead to the improvement of patient safety as well as burnout among anesthesiologists. Thus it is urgent to develop a standardized handover checklist for intraoperative anesthesia care to improve postoperative outcome of patients.
