Popis: Background The manner in which a critical intra-operative event is addressed can make the difference between life and death. Robust evidence shows that surgical teams do not adequately handle complications during surgery. The literature reports a rate of 145 critical events per 10,000 procedures, with medical errors being the leading cause of preventable injury and death in patients during surgery. Through a national initiative and an interdisciplinary team, we developed a software program in the form of an application (APP), for tablets and smartphones that allows to systematically deal with critical events in orthopaedic surgery. The tool was tested in high-fidelity simulation scenarios of operating theatres, with real clinical cases. To date, no similar tool has been reported in the literature.
