Tune-in and time-out: toward surgeon-led prevention of "never" events.
Jones N. Tune-In and Time-Out: Toward Surgeon-Led Prevention of "Never" Events. J Patient Saf. 2019;15(4):e36-e39. doi:10.1097/PTS.0000000000000259.
This study surveyed surgical nurses at an Australian hospital regarding their perceptions of surgeon adherence to the World Health Organization surgical safety checklist. Though nurses felt surgeon-led time outs are valuable and lead to fewer adverse events, 94% of them reported experiencing hostility from surgeons, such as a "condescending, sarcastic attitude" related to the time out process.
