Presented by Anesthesia Quality Institute®	This session will dive into intense anesthesia malpractice claims related to operating room (OR) fire. The malpractice claims discussed during this talk are cases submitted into the Anesthesia Quality Institute’s Closed Claims Registry. OR fires are considered a “never” event due to its preventability and severity. OR fires are particularly dangerous, for it is an ideal environment for the “fire triangle,” considering it has an oxidizer (oxygen), fuel, and an ignition or heat agent. These events will always generate a payout based on the circumstances surrounding the malpractice claim; yet it mostly contingent on the severity or degree of the patient injury. Join us in exploring proactive approaches and measures to reduce causative and medicolegal risk.
