چکیده

This article focuses on key aspects of the "nontraditional" surgical subjects of organizational structure and team interaction. First, the deficiencies in team dynamics found within the modern operating room (OR) and their resultant consequences are highlighted. Next, essential human factors concepts related to error generation, organizational culture, high reliability, and team science as applied to the OR environment are reviewed. Finally, various strategies for improving OR team function, including the use of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) in team training are discussed.

Developing a Taxonomy of Anesthetists’ Nontechnical Skills (ANTS)

Safety research in high-reliability industries, such as aviation, has clearly shown that the causes of accidents are primarily related to deficiencies in nontechnical (cognitive and social) skills, rather than a lack of technical expertise. Investigations into causes of error in anesthesia have revealed a similar pattern. The aviation industry uses behavioral marker systems to structure the tra...
