The operating room is a high-risk environment involving complex tasks. This study used cognitive task analysis (CTA) to explore how anesthesia nurses and anesthesiologists manage complex everyday situations during intraoperative care processes. Findings underscore the importance of available resources, team composition, and non-technical skills (NTS) for managing complex daily work and promoting patient safety.
