Abstract:
Rising concern about patient safety has resulted in growing interest in non-technical skills (NTS) among anaesthesiologists. Growing evidence suggesting the use of good NTS training in patient safety in simulated as well as real-world environment made them important in medical education. Both technical skills (TS) and NTS are interdependent. Successful task performance depends on effective integration of both TS and NTS for any given situation. Development of tools for assessing the NTS of an anaesthesiologist in improving health care outcomes is challenging. Teaching, understanding and evaluating NTS among anaesthesiologists in improving health care outcomes is a domain which is supposed to be a rich seam for future studies.
