“…There is widespread recognition that human factors are key to the safe delivery of healthcare in the UK. Human factors are defined as: “ enhancing clinical performance through an understanding of the effects of teamwork, tasks, equipment, workspace, culture and organisation on human behaviour and abilities and application of that knowledge in clinical settings ” ; or more simply, “ the science of improving human performance and well‐being, by examining all the effectors of human performance ” .…”

SummaryHuman factors in anaesthesia were first highlighted by the publication of the Anaesthetists Non-Technical Skills Framework, and since then an awareness of their importance has gradually resulted in changes in routine clinical practice. This review examines recent literature around human factors in anaesthesia, and highlights recent national reports and guidelines with a focus on team working, communication, situation awareness and human error. We highlight the importance of human factors in modern anaesthetic practice, using the example of complex trauma.

“…Such nontraditional discipline‐independent skills will enable them to navigate challenges within the health care setting by exhibiting collaborative leadership, promoting team success, displaying cultural competency, and communicating effectively as they provide holistic care and start recognizing the person when treating the patient. These skills are recognized as important factors in the safe delivery of care by enhancing clinical performance through an understanding of the effects of teamwork, leadership, communication, and organizational culture on human behavior in the healthcare environment (Flin and Patey, ; Youngson, ; Gordon et al, ; Moneypenny, ). Deficiency in NTDIS contributes to significant increase in medical errors (Panesar et al, ; Roche, ; Uramatsu et al, ).…”

Pediatric anesthesia requires the rapid creation, communication, and execution of anesthesia orders, and there is a risk of human error. The authors developed an order-assisted mobile application (app) to reduce human error during pediatric anesthesia preparation. The authors conducted an observational study that compared the effects of the application by comparing anesthesiologists’ errors, nurses’ errors, nurses leaving the operating room, and delays in surgery, between the Conventional group (n = 101) and the App group (n = 101). The app was associated with reduced human error by anesthesiologists and nurses, and it lowered the frequency and duration of nurses leaving the operating room during anesthesia. In addition, the authors surveyed anesthesia nurses regarding the effectiveness of the app. The nurses confirmed that the app was convenient and reduced human error. This study revealed that the order-assisted mobile app developed by a pediatric anesthesiologist could reduce human errors by anesthesiologists and nurses during pediatric anesthesia preparation.
