Patient safety awareness, knowledge and attitude about fire risk assessment during time‐out among perioperative nurses in Korea

Abstract: With the recent advances in surgery due to developments in medicine, science and technology, the use of complex and enhanced equipment has improved patient care and safety. However, the use of excess anaesthetic gas, radiation, electrical and electronic equipment in the operating room, and the risk of infection and drug addiction are increasing, threatening the safety of patients and perioperative healthcare workers (Hey & Turner, 2016;Edozien, 2005).

“…The WHO advocates for the meticulous application of this checklist to minimize potential risks during surgeries.
