Time spend in the operating room is the most risk-filled period of whole hospital stay, and children are patients running highest risks.
The mail aim of this study was to identify the risks that could threaten the patients during operation. According to the results risks are
mainly connected to anesthesia (complications with intubation, laryngospasmus, or teeth damage), operation procedure (risk of burns,
falls and patient swap) and the stay in the operational room itself (for example hypothermia caused by air-condition). Preventive measures
in intra-operational care are: check of anesthesiology equipment, medication and tools, following verification protocols and highly
antiseptic procedures during surgery. Preventing burns and burning the patient is achieved by proper grounding of the instruments,
usage of non-alcoholic disinfectant solutions and drapes according to valid legislation.
