Brief Summary

To explore to what extent shared mental models (SMM) occur within the Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) teams in a cardiothoracic surgery setting. Additionally, to establish whether the VATS team's SMM is associated with the surgeons' technical skills, procedural specific times, per-operative bleeding, or patient characteristics

Conditions

Shared Mental Models; Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery; Lobectomy; Technical Skills

Keywords

non-technical skills; patient safety; medical education

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• shared mental models (SMM)

  Questionnaires. The pre-operative questions concern team members' perceived technical skills, teamwork skills and familiarity; risk assessment ('global' and 'global in view of the current team'); and risk assessment of specific tasks. The post-operative questions concern team members' perceived technical skills and teamwork skills; risk assessment ('global' and 'global in view of the current team'), leadership and teamwork during the procedure, and knowledge of challenges experienced during the procedure

  pre- and post-operatively

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Technical skills (TS)

  per-operatively

• Procedural specific times

  During the operation (VATS lobectomies)

• Amount of bleeding

  During the operation (VATS lobectomies)

• Patient characteristics

  Pre-operatively

Other Outcomes (1)

• Experience level of surgeon

  Pre-operatively

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
