Checklists for image-guided interventions: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Safety checklists have improved safety in patients undergoing surgery. Checklists have been designed specifically for use in image-guided interventions. This systematic review aimed to identify checklists designed for use in radiological interventions and to evaluate their efficacy for improving patient safety. Secondary aims were to evaluate attitudes toward checklists and barriers to their use.

Methods

OVID, MEDLINE, CENTRAL and CINAHL were searched using terms for "interventional radiology" and "checklist". Studies were included if they described pre-procedural checklist use in vascular/body interventional radiology (IR), paediatric IR or interventional neuro-radiology (INR). Data on checklist design, implementation and outcomes were extracted.
