Simulation of Cardiopulmonary Bypass Management: An Approach to Resident Training

Are Intraoperative Anesthesia Handovers Associated With Harm? Getting to the Heart of the Matter in Cardiac Surgery: The Search for the Hat-Trick of Quality, Safety, and Continuous Improvement

“…Recent efforts to accelerate the development of a patient safety culture in clinical practice have highlighted not only the importance of highquality communication in the perioperative period but also the value of strategies to achieve this goal such as formal handover protocols, checklists, team training, and simulation. [3][4][5][6][7] This contemporary focus on patient safety in perioperative cardiovascular practice recently was selected in the Journal as a highlight in the authors' specialty due to its importance and relevance. 8 In this issue of the journal, Dr. Hudson and colleagues provided further evidence to emphasize why practitioners should focus attention on the outcome impact of anesthetic handovers in cardiac surgery.…”
