Abstract

Most CRNAs and residents at 3 teaching hospitals considered faculty guidance that meets expectations to be at least "frequent," regardless of years in practice.

“…The observed difference between anesthesia residents and nurse anesthetists may be related to pre-operative factors. The closer supervision of residents, secondary to fewer years' experience, leads to more help in the turnover process and shorter turnover times [9]. Anesthesia residents felt this difference may have also been secondary to differences in preparing for cases, as residents tend to organize drugs and equipment they will require for the entire day, before cases start.…”

Determinants, Associations, and Psychometric Properties of Resident Assessments of Anesthesiologist Operating Room Supervision

“…This topic is considered further in our companion paper. 8 As discussed previously, the weight of current evidence supports the concept that patient diagnosis and treatment are favorably affected by faculty supervision. 2 In surgery, some 9 but not all 10 studies report lesser perioperative morbidity and mortality when attending surgeons are present.…”

Content analysis of resident evaluations of faculty anesthesiologists: supervision encompasses some attributes of the professionalism core competency

“…There are two implications of these findings. Whereas less than frequent supervision 10,29 shows unprofessional behaviour, it is entirely possible for an anesthesiologist to exhibit unprofessional behaviours and yet provide consistently high-quality supervision. Therefore, in addition to supervision scores and comments, other methods/metrics are necessary for full assessment of anesthesiologists' professionalism.…”
