Abstract

Mortality audit, also known as death review, is a systemic process that documents the  causes of death and factors that contributed to it. Conducted by a medical audit committee  and recommended by Quality Council of India, this review aligns with standards set by  NABH and JCI. It scrutinizes deaths occurring in Operation Theatres, addressing issues on  criminal negligence under the Consumer Protection Act. The audit investigates therapeutic  misadventures, surgical errors, and deficiencies in surgery, involving Healthcare Providers  (HCPs). It also examines anesthetic toxicity, overdoses, anaphylaxis, and other critical factors. Through verbal autopsies and postmortem analyses of the critical facts, the process aims to  identify lapses and improve future medical practices, ensuring higher quality care and patient safety
