[Anesthetic safety: recommendations of the French Society of Anesthesia-Resuscitation].
As in other developed countries, the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care has established since 1989 nine recommendations concerning the safety of anaesthetic practice, for all types of anaesthesia, and whatever the place where anaesthesia is to be given. They include recommendations for the preanaesthetic period (especially the preanaesthetic visit), for monitoring an anaesthetized patient, and for recovery. Day-case anaesthesia and obstetrical analgesia have also been considered. For each recommendation, minimum standards for facilities, organisation, personal and equipment have been defined. These standards safety requirements could be used as indicators in assessing anaesthetic safety in a hospital accreditation process.
