Surgical Care Safety
Bundle The Surgical Care Safety Bundle is a set of evidence-based practices that have been shown to reduce the risk of complications and mortality for patients undergoing surgery. It includes the use of prophylactic antibiotics, the prevention of hypothermia, strict blood glucose management, maintaining clear communication and timeliness in the operating room environment, and the use of checklists to assess the patient’s health condition prior to and during surgery. These interventions have been widely shown to reduce the risk of surgical complications, such as infections, postoperative wound complications, and other adverse events. The Surgical Care Safety Bundle is an important risk reduction strategy for patients undergoing surgery and can help improve overall patient safety and health outcomes.
