Developing an Intervention to Improve the Non-Technical Skills of the Cardiac Surgical Teams

NCT06257511 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Summary

Teams of several medical professionals conduct high-risk cardiac surgical procedures. These professionals work in complex, stressful operating room environments requiring effective communication and teamwork skills. Surgeons, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, nurses, and surgical technicians working in this environment are also vulnerable to human errors. Non-technical skills for surgeons (NOTSS), defined as cognitive skills (situation awareness, decision making) and social skills (leadership, communication, and teamwork) underpinning medical knowledge and technical skills, are essential contributors to better cardiac surgery outcomes. Yet most of the surgical education programs focus only on technical skills, and interventions to improve the non-technical skills of cardiac surgical teams are scarce. The proposed research will develop and pilot-test and evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of an intervention to improve the non-technical skills of cardiac surgical teams.
