Nontechnical skills training for the operating room: A prospective study using simulation and didactic workshop

Non-technical skills of surgeons and anaesthetists in simulated operating theatre crises

“…NTS have been implicated in a large proportion of operating theatre errors and, as a result of their impact, regulatory bodies in the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia have included them in core competencies. Previous work has made the association between improving NTS and decreasing patient error rates during routine operations but, owing to the nature of operating theatre crises, the association between NTS and objective endpoints has not been studied in the operating theatre.…”

“…NTS were assessed using the previously validated Non‐Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) and Anaesthetists' Non‐Technical Skills (ANTS) rating systems. Categories for NOTSS include situational awareness, decision‐making, communication/teamwork and leadership, whereas those for ANTS include task management, team working, situation awareness and decision‐making.…”

Non-technical skills of surgical trainees and experienced surgeons

“…This study used video data available from two research projects involving a common simulated scenario. The original study by Pena and colleagues, undertaken between April and July 2013, was conducted within functioning operating theatres at two metropolitan teaching hospitals in Adelaide, Australia. An e‐mail was distributed to all SET trainees and recent Fellows inviting them to participate in the study.…”

“…In 2013, a single‐blinded, randomized study was conducted to investigate the effect of a didactic non‐technical skills training workshop on the Non‐Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) score of surgical trainees undertaking simulated scenarios within a functional operating theatre. Participants in the study were assessed using the previously validated NOTSS scoring system.…”

¿quién Y Cómo Se Debe Garantizar La Calidad Del Cirujano?

“…Esto requiere compostura y competencia, y pronostica buenos resultados para el paciente. La ausencia de esas condiciones produce unos efectos desproporcionadamente disruptivos sobre el progreso de la operación y crea un ambiente desfavorable, el cual puede predisponer al paciente a un alto riesgo de complicaciones y eventos adversos durante la cirugía al igual que en el posoperatorio [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] . Podemos agregar, como atributos para considerar un buen cirujano, a aquel que realiza una correcta selección de los pacientes para operar, un buen manejo preoperatorio y posoperatorio, atribuciones acompañadas por compasión y diligencia.…”
