Abstract:
Health care requires the effort of a team, and nowhere is this more evident than in the care of the surgical patient. No single clinician can perform all aspects of the continuum of surgical care. The basic operating room (OR) team consists of nurses, technicians, surgeons, and anesthesiologists with unique and well-defined roles and expertise in perioperative care. The modern OR team continues to grow and evolve in size, diversity, and complexity to meet the needs of growing patient and procedural complexity. This growing complexity makes achieving optimal team performance paramount and challenging.
