Using Standardized Checklists Increase the Completion Rate of Critical Actions in an Evacuation from the Operating Room A Randomized Controlled Simul

The authors simulated evacuation of a patient under general anesthesia in the operating room to understand the benefit of using a checklist to help providers complete key evacuation steps. Using a checklist was shown to improve completion of critical actions during the simulated evacuation and did not adversely impact evacuation time.
