Even when only one person is performing a procedure, a brief pause to confirm the correct
patient, procedure and site is appropriate. Verification with others who would not otherwise
be involved with the procedure is not necessary.
Participation of the patient in a “time out” should be encouraged although due to
the fact
that a “time out” must be performed in the location where the procedure is being performed
this may not always be possible. For example, participation by the patient is not expected
when the patient is being anesthetized. The “time out” may precede induction of anesthesia
or may occur after the patient is anesthetized.
