Summary
The PIT stop (prosthesis/implant timeout) checklist is Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Trust's visual and aid memoir. It was launched to limit 'human error' and thus preventing never events (wrong implant/prosthesis). The four steps cover the intra-operative stages when implants are required. It works by recording what is requested on a small, hand held white board, and works in harness with the NatSSIPs 8, specifically step 5 of the infographic that has been previously developed.
