Operating theatres are very private workplaces. There have been few
research investigations into how highly trained doctors and nurses
work together to achieve safe and efficient anaesthesia and
surgery. While there have been major advances in surgical and
anaesthetic procedures, there are still significant risks for
patients during operations and adverse events are not unknown. Due
to rising concern about patient safety, surgeons and anaesthetists
have looked for ways of minimising adverse events. Behavioural
scientists have been encouraged by clinicians to bring research
techniques used in other industries into the operating theatre in
order to study the behaviour of surgeons, nurses and anaesthetists.
Safer Surgery presents one of the first collections of studies
designed to understand the factors influencing safe and efficient
surgical, anaesthetic and nursing practice. The book is written by
psychologists, surgeons and anaesthetists, whose contributions
combine to offer readers the latest research techniques and
findings from some of the leading investigators in this field. It
is designed for practitioners and researchers interested in
understanding the behaviour of operating theatre team members, with
a view to enhancing both training and practice. The material is
also suitable for those studying behaviour in other areas of
healthcare or in high-risk work settings. The aims of the book are
to: a) present the latest research on the behaviour of operating
theatre teams b) describe the techniques being used by
psychologists and clinicians to study surgeons, anaesthetists and
theatre nurses' task performance c) outline the safety implications
of the research to date.
