Prevalence and Associated Factors of Anesthetic Drug Administration Error, a Web Based Crossectional Survey, 2022.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The operating room (OR) is a demanding and time-constrained setting, in comparison to primary care settings, where perioperative medication administration is more complicated and there is a high risk that the patient will experience a medication error.
