Are you pleased with how it went?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fataou: Surely! I\u2019m very happy. We can now say that today, in every operating theatre in Togo, there is a Lifebox pulse oximeter.<\/p>\n<p>Every patient having surgery can be monitored, and this is so important. With a pulse oximeter you can prevent complications\u2014not because anaesthesia providers are not competent, but because the conditions of their practice are not the best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: were there any pulse oximeters in the operating theatres before?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fataou: Well in Lom\u00e9, the capital, you might see one or two. But after a few months, a year, it doesn\u2019t work.\u00a0 It\u2019s not adapted. Mostly we use our finger, or stethoscope, or check the colour of the blood during an operation.<\/p>\n<p>Now we have pulse oximeters that are adapted to the conditions of a hospital in Togo. It\u2019s going to make a very big difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: your paper on rates of anaesthesia mortality demonstrated that it could be very dangerous for a patient in Togo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fataou: That\u2019s really why I chose this specialty when I was in medical school. I could see so many people, when they went for surgery\u2014unfortunately they died. They just died. Even people who were otherwise in good health. The rate of morbidity and mortality was very, very high.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: is that why you decided to publish?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fataou: In Sub-Saharan Africa particularly, there are not many studies. This means that sometimes people don\u2019t know what exactly is happening in their own countries. People asked me, why are you publishing this? Are you sure that it is true? I chose to make it known, not just to anaesthesia providers in Togo, but around the world.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m happy about that, because it\u2019s true. And once we have the numbers we can be better at addressing the problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: Surgical safety may seem like an obvious concept, but it can be difficult to develop as a culture. Why do you think that is?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fataou: Patient safety is about communication, but I also think it has its own language.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t understand a language then you can\u2019t discuss it with people, and the language of patient safety isn\u2019t a familiar one in Togo and other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n<p>This is a challenge we will not finish in a month, or two years. Things have changed, but it\u2019s taking time.<\/p>\n<p>Following the workshop I was so happy, because the discussion had begun. Nurse anaesthetists went away from the workshop feeling like they could begin talking about surgical safety with their team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifebox: What sort of feedback have you had from the nurse anaesthetists who received pulse oximeters?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fataou: If I were to tell you all their explanations, we wouldn\u2019t finish this conversation today!<\/p>\n<p>People were very, very happy.\u00a0 I realised\u2014and this made me really happy too\u2014that they knew they needed this equipment. They knew it could help them in their practice.<\/p>\n<p>One nurse anaesthetist told me that before he had a pulse oximeter he felt like an airplane pilot without a radar. Now he has an oximeter he has a radar; now he can see where he is going.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Fataou Ouro-Bang\u2019Na<\/strong> is an anaesthetist and assistant professor in anaesthesia at the University of Lom\u00e9-Tokoin Teaching Hospital in Togo.
