Latent Safety Threats and Countermeasures in the Operating Theater: A National In Situ Simulation-Based Observational Study. Open
The pervasiveness of LSTs suggests that our results have widespread relevance to surgical departments throughout New Zealand and elsewhere and that collective solutions would be valuable. In situ simulation is an effective mechanism both f…

Latent Safety Threats and Countermeasures in the Operating Theater Open
Introduction In situ simulation provides a valuable opportunity to identify latent safety threats (LSTs) in real clinical environments. Using a national simulation program, we explored latent safety threats (LSTs) identified during in situ…

Improving the quality of administration of the Surgical Safety Checklist: a mixed methods study in New Zealand hospitals Open
While the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist (the Checklist) can improve patient outcomes, variable administration can erode benefits. We sought to understand and improve how operating room (OR) staff use the Checklist. Our specific aims were t…

Ward calls not so scary for medical students after interprofessional simulation course: a mixed-methods cohort evaluation study Open
Background An interprofessional simulation ‘ward call’ course—WardSim—was designed and implemented for medical, pharmacy and nursing students. We evaluated this intervention and also explored students’ experiences and ideas of both the cou…

Retesting the Hypothesis of a Clinical Randomized Controlled Trial in a Simulation Environment to Validate Anesthesia Simulation in Error Research (the VASER Study) Open
Background Simulation has been used to investigate clinical questions in anesthesia, surgery, and related disciplines, but there are few data demonstrating that results apply to clinical settings. We asked “would results of a simulation-ba…

Deviation from Accepted Drug Administration Guidelines during Anaesthesia in Twenty Highly Realistic Simulated Cases Open
Deviations from accepted practice guidelines and protocols are poorly understood, yet some deviations are likely to be deliberate and carry potential for patient harm. Anaesthetic teams practise in a complex work environment and anaestheti…
