Mortality rates due to anesthesia have generally believed to have decreased over the past two decades, attributed to advances in patient monitoring techniques, incorporation of practice guidelines, and approaches at error reduction. The American Society of Anesthesiologists has created standards, advisories, and guidelines to improve care. Formation of the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF), whose goal is to assure patient safety with the mission that “no patient shall be harmed from anesthesia,” has helped to increase safety efforts.
