Three years after the launch of the Helsinki Declaration on patient safety in anaesthesiology: The history, the progress and quite a few challenges for the future

摘要

A year before the amalgamation of the former European Society of Anaesthesiologists (former ESA), the European Academy of Anaesthesiology (EAA) and the Confederation of European National Societies of Anaesthesiologists (CENSA), and based on early and enthusiastic work by European anaesthesiologists, the scientific subcommittee 'Patient Safety' of the new ESA met for the first time in Lisbon in 2004. Members of that ESA subcommittee were Francois Clergue (CH), Sven-Erik Gisvold (N), Laszlo Vimlati (HU), Maurice Lamy (BE), Marcus Rail (DE), Andrew Smith (UK), Philippe Garnerin (CH) and Sven Staender (CH). Very soon this group became active.
