Individualized quality data feedback reports for anesthesiology residents combined with an education intervention decreases the incidence of intraoperative hypotension: A prospective quality improvement pilot evaluation

Feedback facilitates the lifelong process of practice-based learning and improvement by helping to identify strengths and deficits, set goals, and provide data that allows for self-evaluation and behavioral change. Increasing evidence demonstrates that intraoperative hypotension contributes to postoperative acute kidney injury, myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery, and increased thirty-day mortality [1–3].
