Although the reported incidence of surgical fires indicates they are rare occurrences, any Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) who is involved in one will most likely end up in court defending a malpractice suit. This column discusses one such case with an emphasis on the CRNA's deposition testimony and its impact on the need to settle the case. The column also will discuss how surgical fires can be prevented and provide sources of further information on this important risk management issue for CRNAs.
尽管报告的手术火灾发生率表明此类事件很少发生，但任何卷入其中的注册护士麻醉师（CRNA）很可能最终会在法庭上为医疗事故诉讼进行辩护。本专栏讨论了这样一个案例，重点是CRNA的证词及其对案件和解必要性的影响。专栏还将讨论如何预防手术火灾，并为CRNA提供有关这一重要风险管理问题的更多信息来源。
