ACR A 400, also known as the Anesthesia Communication Standard, is a recommended standard for patient monitoring and communication in operating rooms. It includes guidelines for the use of anesthesia equipment, medication administration, and patient monitoring during surgical procedures. The goal of ACR A 400 is to improve patient safety and reduce the risk of adverse events by promoting clear communication and effective collaboration among anesthesia providers, surgeons, nurses, and other members of the surgical team. This standard is widely adopted and followed by healthcare organizations in Australia and New Zealand, and its principles also align with international best practices such as American Society of Anesthesiologists' (ASA) "Standards for Basic Anesthetic Monitoring" and the European Monitoring System Standard (EMSS).
