In situ simulation training can identify latent safety threats (LSTs) before they cause patient harm. Researchers in this study conducted 13 one-day in situ simulation trainings of neonatal emergencies at one Austrian hospital over an eight-year period and identified 67 LSTs. The most common categories of LSTs involved equipment (63%), resources (21%), and medications (16%).
