Study of Surgical Outcomes and Standardized Anesthesiologist Handover in Major Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of a standardized handover tool called AnesList during the transition between anesthesiologists in the operating room for patients undergoing major surgery. The main goal is to see if using AnesList reduces serious events like death, complications, or rehospitalization within one month after surgery. The study also aims to assess the impact of this communication on hospital and ICU stay lengths, transmission quality, and overall morbidity and mortality at participating centers. Participants are assigned to one of three groups an experimental group receiving immediate training on AnesList, a control group with delayed training, and a control group without training. The study observes how anesthesiologists use AnesList and evaluates training satisfaction and obstacles to its use. Follow-up includes monitoring the continued use of the tool six months after enrollment ends. During the study, researchers collect data on adverse events one month after surgery, duration of ICU and hospital stays, quality and condition of handovers, and interaction with study nurses, averaging 18 months of follow-up. Satisfaction with the tool and its training is also assessed. Participants are monitored for morbidity and mortality outcomes before, during, and after the study period to evaluate the effectiveness of standardized communication in the operating room.
