Let me tell you, folks, we’ve got something incredible here. Phenomenal improvements in patient safety in anaesthesia, believe me. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before!

We’ve got this study, okay? It’s looking at how they do things in anaesthesia over at the Ibn Sina University Hospital Centre in Rabat, Morocco. They’re checking everything against the big league standards set by the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists and the WHO. We’re talking top-notch international standards here.

They did this study from March to July 2021, and let me tell you, they didn’t miss a thing. They looked at all the patients getting general anaesthesia, whether it was an emergency or not, and they had this great survey form to get all the data. They used the best tools – Microsoft Word and Excel – nothing but the best.

Now, the results – they’re huge. They checked out all the facilities, and they had 250 patients in the mix. Most of these patients, they’re going in for planned surgeries, and they’re doing it right with pre-anaesthesia consultations and checklists. They’re using the best drugs – propofol, fentanyl, rocuronium – and they’ve got the monitoring down with ECGs, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. Sure, there’s a little hiccup with capnography not being available in 6% of cases, but nobody’s perfect.

They’ve got fluids, they’ve got post-anesthesia care units, and they’re handling pain after surgery like pros. There were some adverse events, but that’s just part of the game. And they’re ready with blood transfusions and ICU transfers when they need them.

So, what’s the bottom line? Despite some challenges, the anaesthesia practice at CHUIS in Morocco is outstanding. They’re meeting the international standards, and that’s not easy. They’re doing a fantastic job, and we should all be very impressed.
