Abstract Introduction : Safe practice during regional anaesthesia is important to ensure avoidance of morbidity and mortality. The Stop and Mock Before You Block is a safety initiative that is developed to prevent wrong sided and site regional blocks. The study aims to identify the incidences of wrong side or site blocks and also identify the knowledge, application and practice of anaesthetic doctors in Hospital Kuala Lumpur.
Method : This is a observational descriptive study, where a questionnaire in the format of Google Form is distributed among Anaesthetic doctors via Whatsapp. The data was then collected and analysed using SPSS to generate frequencies and mean of responses. It was also used to analyse the relationship between the variables and demographics.
Results : A total of 143 anaesthetic doctors responded. The study found an incidence of 8 wrongly performed blocks. The study also found significant correlation between years of practice and doctor’s grade to the knowledge, application and practice components.
Conclusion : The study has identified 8 occurrences of wrong side or site block that has occurred among the anaesthetic doctors in Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Based on the results of the study, majority of the anaesthetic doctors had moderate to poor knowledge, application and practice of the Stop and Mock Before You Block safety initiative.
