In the spirit of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, the COVID-19 Surgical Patient Checklist is a simple tool to promote teamwork and communication in the operating room. It offers prompts to perform key infection prevention strategies during surgery. This Checklist was developed by a team of surgeons and anesthesiologists at Lifebox with input from surgical teams representing seven different African nations. Smile Train and the World Federation of the Societies of Anesthesiologists (WFSA) have lent their support.
Lifebox is hosting workshops on the use of the COVID-19 Surgical Patient Checklist and is developing a cadre of trainers across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. For more information, contact [email protected]
