Erratum: Impact of obesity on postoperative and long-term outcomes in a general surgery population: A retrospective cohort study (World Journal of Surgery DOI:10.1007/s00268-013-2162-y)

摘要

In their article on learning lessons from aviation, Bhangu et al. [1] recommend the inclusion of "surprise and startle" scenarios in surgical simulation training. We feel that, in addition to exposing trainees to the technical aspects of these scenarios, there is a need for a standardised communication framework during such events that surgeons universally can implement—a framework with similar intent to the WHO surgical safety checklist [2] but that provides an algorithm for how surgeons from any locality can express concern and communicate it to others on their team during high stress situations.
