Methodological considerations in analysing anaesthetists' habits of action in clinical situations

摘要

Human activity can be seen as an intentional, context-dependent enterprise explained through meanings the actors attach to their activity and their directly observable interactions with the environment. The authors have demonstrated previously a new conceptual framework to describe the anaesthetist's activity. One of the central concepts besides orientation is habit of action referring to the Way in which the actor has organized his actions when interacting with his Environment, in this case a patient with unique physiological potentials, Information monitors and anaesthetic drugs.
