The response article in the Journal of Obstetric Anaesthesia & Critical Care addresses the prevalence and prevention of medication errors in obstetric anesthesia practice. The authors acknowledge an error in Figure 2 of the original article and have provided a corrected figure in the manuscript. They also discuss the limited availability of studies specifically focused on medication errors in obstetric anesthesia, emphasizing the need for future research in this area to improve patient outcomes. The unique challenges of obstetric anesthesia, such as time-sensitive interventions and frequent interruptions, may increase the risk of medication errors, especially in resource-limited settings. The article highlights the importance of implementing both high-tech and basic safety measures to enhance patient safety in diverse healthcare environments. [Extracted from the article]
