dc.description.abstractThis study reports on the process of peer review of peri-operative mortality at Tygerberg Hospital. The peri-operative mortality rate for the past 3,5 years was 11,9/10000. The departmental evaluation committee thought that 3,4/10000 of these deaths were anaesthetic-related. In 2,3/10000, the anaesthetic contributed to the death of the patient and in 10 cases (total case load = 94945; i.e. 1,1/10000) anaesthesia was responsible for the death of the patient. The majority of the peri-operative deaths (8,5/10 000) were caused by a combination of trauma and haemorrhagic shock.
