Anesthesiologists are perioperative leaders of patient and health care team safety. The anesthesiologist needs to remain vigilant in the perioperative setting and while caring for patients. The ability to navigate increased noise levels, distractions, and hazards is crucial for maintaining a safe environment. While some noise, such as music, can have benefits, overall noise levels can distract from patient care and have adverse effects on patient care and intraoperative staff. This study provides an overview of noise, distractions, and hazards in the perioperative environment.

This research investigates the effectiveness of nudge presentation on Hazard Perception (HP) during a computerized Hazard Perception Test (HPT). Three types of nudges were examined: Reminder, Social Norm, and Negative Reinforcement. Their effects on drivers' reaction times, hazard misidentifications (errors), and hazard recognition failures (misses) were analyzed.

Objective: Distracted driving is a major contributor to crashes involving younger drivers. A considerable amount of evidence emphasizes the link between driver distraction, poorer driving performance and increased crash risk. However, limited research has examined the effects of mobile phone use on hazard perception performance, especially younger drivers.

Repeatedly Crash-Involved Drivers (RCIDs) pose significant challenges to traffic safety, contributing disproportionately to crash occurrences and their severe consequences. While existing research has explored factors influencing crash involvement, the literature often neglects the influence of a driver's crash history and inter-crash intervals on their evolving crash risk. Additionally, many traditional models fail to address unobserved heterogeneity, limiting their ability to capture the complex interplay of factors contributing to repeated crash involvement.
