    Abstract
    Perioperative fires are traumatizing events that may lead to patient and staff morbidity and mortality. CRNAs are in a unique position for monitoring, assessing, and intervening to prevent perioperative fires yet fire prevention resources designed specifically for anesthesia providers are not available. In this quality improvement project, a perioperative fire prevention quick reference guide tailored to the distinct role of the CRNA was created. This guide was distributed to CRNAs for use in practice at an ambulatory surgical center and its utility was evaluated via pre- and post-intervention participant surveys. Participants indicated that availability of the reference guide improved confidence in knowledge about perioperative fire prevention and decreased the amount of time it would take to access reference materials on the topic, should the need arise. The quick reference guide represents a cost-effective method of improving patient safety and staff efficiency. For future use, the guide may be tailored to suit the needs of other organizations based on procedures performed or equipment utilized.
