| Abstract: | It is well known that labelling is crucial in anesthetic practice. Syringe and drug preparation errors accounted for 452 (50.4%) incidents in the Australian Incident Monitoring Study database. We report a unique potential event of possible wrong route administration of medications where a bowl of local anaesthetics was mistakenly taken to the surgical trolley. This incident serves as lesson for practicing sterile labelling and identifying anaesthetic trolley |
