Study protocol for a Prospective Observational study of Safety Threats and Adverse events in Trauma (PrO-STAT): a pilot study at a level-1 trauma centre in Canada.

Introduction: Traumatic injuries are a significant public health concern globally, resulting in substantial mortality, hospitalisation and healthcare burden. Despite the establishment of specialised trauma centres, there remains considerable variability in trauma-care practices and outcomes, particularly in the initial phase of trauma resuscitation in the trauma bay. This stage is prone to preventable errors leading to adverse events (AEs) that can impact patient outcomes.

Healthcare professionals' perception of the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist and psychological safety: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: The Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) is a cornerstone of ensuring the safety and accuracy of communication among interdisciplinary teams in the operating room. Central to the successful implementation of such a checklist is the concept of psychological safety. Despite the extensive body of research on the checklists' efficacy, the association between healthcare professionals' (HCPs) perceptions of the checklist and their level of psychological safety remains uninvestigated.

Impact of team performance on the surgical safety checklist on patient outcomes: an operating room black box analysis.

Background: Surgical safety checklists reduce adverse events, but monitoring adherence to checklists is confounded by observation bias. The ORBB platform can monitor checklist compliance and correlate compliance with outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the association between checklist compliance and patient outcomes using the ORBB platform.

Enhancing patient safety in trauma: Understanding adverse events, assessment tools, and the role of trauma video review.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate adverse events (AEs) in trauma resuscitation, evaluate contributing factors, and assess methods, such as trauma video review (TVR), to mitigate AEs.

Background: Trauma remains a leading cause of global mortality and morbidity, necessitating effective trauma care. Despite progress, AEs during trauma resuscitation persist, impacting patient outcomes and the healthcare system.

Using the Operating Room Black Box to Assess Surgical Team Member Adaptation Under Uncertainty: An Observational Study.

Objective: Identify how surgical team members uniquely contribute to teamwork and adapt their teamwork skills during instances of uncertainty.

Background: The importance of surgical teamwork in preventing patient harm is well documented. Yet, little is known about how key roles (nurse, anesthesiologist, surgeon, and medical trainee) uniquely contribute to teamwork during instances of uncertainty, particularly when adapting to and rectifying an intraoperative adverse event (IAE).
