Riassunto
Nel dicembre 2007, Atul Gawande [1]_citò sul quotidiano The Newyorker uno studio, realizzato qualche anno prima da alcuni autori israeliani, nel quale venivano riportati dati relativi alle attività svolte nei reparti di terapia intensiva (TI). Si dimostrava che, in un periodo di 24 ore, un paziente riceveva da parte dei medici e degli infermieri una media di 178 interventi. Tali interventi prevedevano, prevalentemente, la somministrazione di farmaci (amine simpatico-mimetiche, analgesici, sedativi, ecc.) e procedure invasive (bronco-aspirazione, cateterismo venoso centrale, ecc.). Tutto questo esponeva il paziente a un rischio di errore che veniva stimato essere circa l’1% di tutti gli interventi effettuati in un giorno. In media, un paziente ricoverato in terapia intensiva rischiava due errori per ogni giornata di degenza.
