The Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Inquest Report

 

 

The meeting of the anaesthetists on October 19

The anaesthetists were still concerned about the surgical results. At their October 19 meeting, (Exhibit 19, Document 262) they agreed on the need for the Wiseman Committee to look at cardiac deaths.

At this meeting, there was also discussion about the length of time it was taking both the Standards and Audit Committee and the Pediatric Surgical Standards Committee to review the deaths in the pediatric cardiac program. Anaesthetic representatives to the committees were to write to those committees to encourage them to expedite their reviews of the cases.
