Perioperative death: a critical reflection-on-action.
Perioperative death is thankfully not a regular occurrence in UK operating theatres. However, when it does occur the perioperative practitioner is often denied the opportunity to grieve. The use of a clinical supervision session enabled a critical reflective approach to be followed after the death of a patient in the operating theatre.
Main Theatres, Ulster Hospital, Dundonald.
