This case focuses on medication errors and adverse drug events occurring during the perioperative period by asking the question: What are the rates, types, severity, and preventability of medication errors (MEs) and adverse drug events (ADEs) in the perioperative setting during anesthesia care? This prospective observational study reported that approximately 1 in 20 perioperative medication administrations, and every second operation, resulted in an ME and/or an ADE. These rates are markedly higher than those reported by prior retrospective surveys. Process- and technology-based solutions may address the root causes of MEs to reduce their incidence.
