Situation & Background
• 74yo female presents to preop with +UTI
during preop testing, scheduled for TKA
• Multiple allergies and comorbidities
• Rescheduled twice already
• Orthopedic surgeon – “Green light”
• Anesthesia – “Green light if we can
initiate IV antbx prior to cut”
• Pharmacy – “Delay until I can sort out
allergies and select appropriate antbx”
Case #1 Assessment
• Preanesthesia testing +UTI, normal
WBCs, afebrile
• Pt adamantly asymptomatic, “I know
what a UTI feels like..”
• Good historian and regular FU with PCP

• SMH moment ortho had ordered a
straight cath the night before. Neg UA.
Report discovered in back of chart after
90min delay and admin of antbx
Case #2

member (English speaking) arrives to
pick up pt and relays history of “slow
wakeup”
Recommendations
• ASA (2012) Practice Guidelines for
Preanesthesia Testing
• UA recommended due to prosthetic
implantation
“In asymptomatic or nonselected patients,
abnormal findings for urinalysis, not including
pregnancy testing, were reported in 0.7– 42.0%
of patients…led to cancellations or changes in
management in 2.3–75.0% of the cases with
abnormal findings”
Communication Mishaps
• Lingard et al. (2004) – 30% of team
exchanges result in communication
failures
– Occasion: situation or timing error
– Content: inaccurate or insufficient info
– Audience: wrong people present
– Purpose: unclear or inappropriate speech
• Leonard et al. (2004) – safe care depends
on team dynamics and effective
communication.
– >70% of RCA – communication failures
Role of the DNP

communication
• Empower all staff to “stop the line”
• Teach assertiveness to surgery
