摘要
The practice of anesthesiology has emerged as a science as well as an art, which has made heroic surgical interventions possible, for example surgery on a heart with severely compromised myocardium and heart and liver transplantation etc. The constant struggle to remove the risks and adverse outcome during the conduct of anesthesia has lead a stream of protocols and guidelines. The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF), created in 1985, is a step forward to create awareness about safety as well as present practical measures to enhance safety all around the globe. This editorial highlights the vital role being played by APSF regarding anesthesia safety.
