[Significance of Multi-center Respiratory Surgery Perioperative Team Training Including Various Medical Staffs]

Area of Science:

• Medicine
• Surgical Training
• Patient Safety

Background:

• Perioperative safety in respiratory surgery requires specialized team coordination.
• Existing training programs may not adequately address the unique challenges of respiratory surgical teams.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and evaluate a multi-center, multi-specialist perioperative team training program for respiratory surgery.
• To enhance the safety and effectiveness of care for patients undergoing respiratory surgery.

Main Methods:

• A questionnaire survey was administered to identify team members' questions prior to training.
• The program incorporated lectures, simulation training, and scenario-based discussions.
• Scenarios covered critical events like massive bleeding, hypoxia, and hypotension.

Main Results:

• The training program included anesthesiologists, respiratory surgeons, and operating nurses.
• Participants engaged in discussions on critical perioperative safety issues.
• Preoperative smoking cessation strategies were also discussed.

Conclusions:

• Simulation-based perioperative team training can improve safety in respiratory surgery.
• This approach fosters collaboration among surgical teams.
• The program may serve as a model for enhancing perioperative safety in complex surgical fields.
