Benzon HA, Hajduk J, De Oliveira GS, et al. Anesth Analg. 2018;126:639-643.

This survey study of pediatric anesthesiology fellows found a high rate of self-reported medication errors overall. The rate of reported errors did not differ among respondents with varying levels of supervision. The authors highlight the need to investigate and reduce the high rates of reported perioperative medication errors.

De Oliveira GS, Castro-Alves LJ, Kendall MC, et al. J Patient Saf. 2021;17:375-380.

Care transitions increase risk for medication errors. This meta-analysis found that pharmacist support during care transitions reduced medication errors and postdischarge emergency department visits. These results support a role for pharmacists in medication safety interventions for patients undergoing care transitions.

The association between frequency of self-reported medical errors and anesthesia trainee supervision: a survey of United States anesthesiology residents-in-training.
