Comparison of Common Minimally Invasive Operations Using Patient Safety Indicators (PSI)

The PSI 90, is used to monitor hospital safety, quality, and value. It is composed predominantly of PSI 9 (perioperative hemorrhage), 11 (postoperative respiratory failure), 12 (perioperative deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolus), and 13 (postoperative sepsis). MIS has been shown to have fewer complications. We aim to evaluate the rates of PSI between MIS in common procedures.
