External sensory stimuli, such as noise and inadequate lighting, can adversely affect patient safety. This qualitative study with trauma team members explored how external sensory stimuli can impact effective team communication and contribute to fatigue and stress. Participants identify potential solutions for sensory factor issues, such as noise-level monitors in trauma rooms or the use of pencil lights or headlights for special procedures.
