Identifying intraoperative events in a simulated laparotomy video: a multinational study of inattentional blindness among anesthesiologists.

Purpose: Medical errors may be occasionally explained by inattentional blindness (IB), i.e., failing to notice an event/object that is in plain sight.

Dobutamine and Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy for Improving Tissue Oxygenation in Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) Flap Breast Reconstruction Surgery: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer care. There are 2 main types of breast reconstruction: alloplastic (using implants) and autologous (using the patient's own tissue). The latter creates a more natural breast mound and avoids the long-term need for surgical revision-more often associated with implant-based surgery.
