Matters relative to the measures required to ensure safety in anaesthesiology and intensive care
Abstract
The paper describes the international practices in studying major elements needed to ensure safety in medicine and anaesthesiology, especially, and points out the upmost relevance of these matters in Russia rather than in other European countries, the USA, Australia, and Japan. Upon revealing the system causes of the current situation, the authors put forward suggestions how to solve this problem, and believe the integrated approach to expanding requirements for the health technologies, improving proper equipment of the health care institutions, providing with the up-to-date medicinal products will allow ensuring more safety of patients.
