“…Based on available literature, the probability of any short-term complication from allogeneic blood is approximately 10-fold higher than from autologous blood. 1,3,18 This difference was accounted for in the model. As a simplifying assumption, we estimated that a short-term complication would lead to 1 day in the intensive care unit (and the associated costs thereof) and varied this in the sensitivity analysis.…”

“…The current transfusion-transmitted malaria (TTM) occurrence rate is figured at 1 per 4 million red blood cells transfused with an estimated fatality rate of 11% in nonendemic countries as compare to endemic countries. 5 TTM in the neonatal period is rare. Review of literature suggested that, in the neonatal period, malaria due to P vivax is more common than P falciparum.…”

“…6 " 8 ST-PRA is an ideal tool for studying the risk of SSIs arising in the ASC setting, because the processes at ASCs and possible failure points depend on the interactions between people, systems, and technology. Furthermore, SSIs fit perfectly within the definition of highimpact, low-probability events.…”

Background.To understand how structural and process elements may affect the risk for surgical site infections (SSIs) in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) environment, the researchers employed a tool known as socio-technical probabilistic risk assessment (ST-PRA). ST-PRA is particularly helpful for estimating risks in outcomes that are very rare, such as the risk of SSI in ASCs.Objective.Study objectives were to (1) identify the risk factors associated with SSIs resulting from procedures performed at ASCs and (2) design an intervention to mitigate the likelihood of SSIs for the most common risk factors that were identified by the ST-PRA for a particular surgical procedure.Methods.ST-PRA was used to study the SSI risk in the ASC setting. Both quantitative and qualitative data sources were utilized, and sensitivity analysis was performed to ensure the robustness of the results.Results.The event entitled “fail to protect the patient effectively” accounted for 51.9% of SSIs in the ambulatory care setting. Critical components of this event included several failure risk points related to skin preparation, antibiotic administration, staff training, proper response to glove punctures during surgery, and adherence to surgical preparation rules related to the wearing of jewelry, watches, and artificial nails. Assuming a 75% reduction in noncompliance on any combination of 2 of these 5 components, the risk for an SSI decreased from 0.0044 to between 0.0027 and 0.0035.Conclusion.An intervention that targeted the 5 major components of the major risk point was proposed, and its implications were discussed.
