* Medical practices carry risks for patients and the professionals who assist them. Occasionally, unforeseen and unexpected accidents occur that cause some harm or complication to the patient and are a direct consequence of the treatment they receive and not of the illness they suffer.
** The perioperative period is the time period of a patient's surgical procedure. It commonly includes ward admission, anesthesia, surgery, and recovery.
