Checklist for brain surgery could cut complications by Two-Thirds

NCT ID NCT07315048

Summary

This study tested whether a special nurse-led safety program could reduce problems during and after emergency surgery for a sudden brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). 156 adults needing urgent surgery were randomly assigned to receive either usual nursing care or usual care plus the safety program, which used checklists to spot and prevent risks. Researchers measured how often nursing-related complications occurred within 30 days, hospital stay length, and patient/family satisfaction to see if the program should become standard practice.
