Summary

With the increasing number of surgical cases, intraoperative handover of anesthesia care is common and inevitable. Verbal handover from one anesthesiologist to another during surgery are being used in many hospitals. However, verbal handover is often an informal, unstructured process during which omissions and errors can occur. It is possible that an improved anesthesia handover may reduce the related adverse events. This study aims to test the hypothesis that use of a well-designed, structured handover-checklist to improve handover quality may decrease the occurrence of postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery.
