AbstractWe report the results of reviews by pharmacists of clerical errors in drugs used in the operating room by anesthesiologists from August 2005 to March 2007 at Fukuoka University Hospital. During the period, 9907 surgical patients were managed by anesthesiologists. There were 4868 clerical errors by anesthesiologists. Failed description of used drugs was the most frequent error (n=3,777). One medication error was detected by the review. The review of used drugs in the operating room by pharmacists can prevent financial loss and improve patients' safety.
