The good, the bad, and the ugly: operative staff perspectives of surgeon coping with intraoperative errors.
June 14, 2023
D’Angelo A-LD, Kapur N, Kelley SR, et al. Surgery. 2023;174(2):222-228.
Prior research has asked surgeons how they cope with intraoperative errors, but this study asks operating room personnel how they perceive surgeons' coping strategies. Positive response strategies included announcing that an error has occurred and the plan for managing it. Negative responses include the surgeon becoming visibly upset, raising their voice, and blaming others. The authors suggest additional education on positive strategies to cope with errors during medical education and residency.
