ASA Closed Claims Project

The ASA Closed Claims Project is a research initiative by the American Society of Anesthesiologists that analyzes past medical liability claims related to anesthesia care. By reviewing these cases, the project identifies common causes of complications and errors, helping healthcare providers understand risks and improve patient safety. The goal is to reduce preventable harm by learning from previous incidents, ultimately leading to better practices, protocols, and outcomes in anesthesia and perioperative care.
