QPP Measure #QUANTUM37
Any patient who aspirates gastric material into the lungs while sedated with general anesthesia or other sedative hypnotic agents administered by the anesthesia clinician, as determined by the anesthesia clinician and/or radiologic imaging up through anesthesia end time. Anesthesia End (Finish) Time is the time at which the anesthesiologist turns over care of the patient to a post anesthesia care team (either PACU or ICU). This time ends when the anesthesia team is no longer furnishing anesthesia services to the patient, that is when the patient may be placed safely under postoperative care and when the anesthesia team has completed transfer of patient care. This is an Inverse Measure.
