Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) by Association of AnesthestistsThe Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is a collection of guidelines for unexpected or uncommon anaesthesia-related emergencies. It aims to ensure the response to a crisis is as organised and all-encompassing as possible, at a time when the cognitive load can impair performance.
The QRH helps clinicians focus on delivering care, using the skills and knowledge they already have. All clinicians should become familiar with the QRH and be practised in its use, so it's automatically reached for in a crisis.
