Medication safety tips for people in operating rooms
This study develops or tests recommendations to make medicines safer during surgery. It’s for operating-room team members, aiming to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You work in or support the operating room (OR)
- Your role is one of: anesthesiologist, surgeon, OR nurse, nurse anesthetist, pharmacist, or patient safety expert
- You are involved in perioperative care (care around the time of surgery), such as planning or giving medications

This study tests whether an electronic guidance tool helps anesthesia clinicians prevent medication errors around the time of surgery. If you’re an eligible anesthesia clinician at Massachusetts General Hospital, your workflow may be supported with this tool to see if mistakes go down.
This trial looks at how well information is passed (a “handoff”) between anesthesia team members during major surgery. The goal is to improve safety by reducing preventable mistakes around the time patients move from one caregiver to another.
This study tests whether practicing together as a team using realistic simulations helps surgical residents, anesthesia nurses, and operating room nurses work better together. The goal is to improve teamwork and safety in the operating room.
This study looks at how operating room nurses use their bodies during surgery. It may help improve work conditions and patient safety.
This study looks at whether closely monitoring opioid and sleep medicines during and after surgery can lower organ problems and death in older adults at high risk. If you qualify, your team will track how these medicines are given to help keep you safer in the postoperative period.
This study tests whether playing calming music and reducing operating room noise during surgery helps children need less anesthesia and pain medication. Researchers hope this simple change might make surgery safer and recovery easier for kids.
