Abstract

The ideal must be to audit all deaths as part of routine surgical and anaesthetic practice. We have examined the level of compliance of surgeons and anaesthetists participating in the Scottish Audit of Surgical Mortality (SASM) for the audit's first three years. The audit has achieved more than 92% compliance, unchanged over a three year period. As a consequence it can be regarded as a truly routine part of surgical and anaesthetic practice within Scotland.
