Challenging authority during an emergency—the effect of a teaching intervention.
August 16, 2017
Friedman Z, Perelman V, McLuckie D, et al. Crit Care Med. 2017;45(8):e814-e820.
Anesthesia residents who received specific training in communication strategies to challenge a supervisor's decision performed better in a simulated anesthetic emergency compared to residents who received only general teamwork training. This suggests that targeted educational strategies may be effective at flattening hierarchies in emergency situations.
