The influence of staff and personnel on the safety of the patient during anesthesia.

The safety of the patient under anesthesia is directly correlated to the quality of the service delivered by the anesthetic department. A good organised work, supposes a staff, which accords to numerical and qualitative requirements. The number of personal required is a function of working conditions. The quality required for the persons who administer anesthesia, depends upon the intrinsic danger of the procedure. As the nature of anesthesia is still linked with the acute control of vital functions of the patient, the qualifications of the person who administer the narcosis should be of the highest level.
