	Surgical Errors Part II: Wrong Site Surgery and Antibiotics Dear All, I got a chance to listen to a talk by Dr. James Herndon, who is a past president of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery (AAOS). He is a distinguished professor of surgery who wanted us to know more about things to improve upon in reducing surgical errors. Please put this information on your radar screen if you or your friend is going to get surgery because it might be of help. My video is on: 1) wrong site surgery (when the wrong place is operated on by accident) and 2) people not getting antibiotics when they should be and/or getting too much antibiotics when they shouldn't be. References: 1) For more information on wrong-site surgery and simple solutions to prevent it: a) This is a piece by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery http://www5.aaos.org/wrong/setup.cfm b) This is a commentary by Dr. Herndon http://www.jbjs.org/Comments/2003/cp_feb03_herndon.shtml For Information on Antibiotics: I misspoke in the video. The actual figure is: 44% who need antimicrobials weren't receiving them (Bratzler et al., 2005; see below). This paper talks about antibiotics and how enough people aren't getting them: 1) Bratzler DW, Houck PM, Richards C, et al. Use of Antimicrobial prophylaxis for major surgery. Arch Surg. 2005; 140:174-182. Some noteworthy parts from the paper: "RESULTS: An antimicrobial dose was administered to 55.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 54.8%-56.6%) of patients within 1 hour before incision. Antimicrobial agents consistent with published guidelines were administered to 92.6% (95% CI, 92.3%-92.8%) of the patients. Antimicrobial prophylaxis was discontinued within 24 hours of surgery end time for only 40.7% (95% CI, 40.2%-41.2%) of patients. CONCLUSION: Substantial opportunities exist to improve the use of prophylactic antimicrobials for patients undergoing major surgery."

Every day, I'm learning exciting and critical topics on medicine and health. But too often, the things I'm learning about never reach the public. I wanted to try an experiment -- sharing health information on youtube, with the sole purpose of trying to get more important health information to you all. Unlike some of the other health videos out there, mine are not about promoting a book, a diet, a pill, an agenda. I hope to answer your questions either through e-mail or through the video updates -- please, please, (please!) e-mail me any questions and I will try my best to answer them by asking my professors and by citing credibles sources (JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, etc...) e-mail: unitedstatesmedicalstudent@gma il.com I hope this experiment works -- and if it fails, I hope someone sees these videos, says, "hmmm, these are bad videos, but I love the idea," and decides to go for it. ___________ P.S. I wanted to point out something important: I'm just a medical student, so my posts are hopefully conversation starters, but only conversation starters — not medical advice. If my posts intrigue you, please read more about the topic and discuss about it with your doctor. I'd be happy to send you the information in the journal articles I talk about. Also, the opinions expressed in this post are not necessarily those of Harvard Medical School, its affiliated institutions, or Harvard University. Best wishes!

	Communication is the best medicine. Older patients ... Communication is the best medicine. Older patients should discuss concerns with their Orthopaedic Surgeons. When discussing surgery with their orthopaedic surgeons, older patients frequently do not raise all of their concerns about proposed procedures. A study published in the July 2008 issue of The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery found that patients age 60 or older have many concerns and questions that they do not mention to their orthopaedic surgeons, which, in turn can become a barrier to obtaining optimal care. Using audiotapes of visits between patients and their orthopaedic surgeons, as well as post-visit telephone interviews, researchers found: -Patients raised only 53% of their concerns about surgery during office visits. -Patients rarely raised concerns about their ability to meet the demands of surgery or about the orthopaedic surgeon's communication and surgical experience. -Patients did receive answers about the timing of surgery and about the care facility where the procedure would be performed.
