6. Conclusion
Significant numbers of adverse events in surgical practice occur due to non-application of research approaches related to surgeons’ capabilities, operating room properties, and non-technical skills, and not due to essential requirements in surgery related to application of clinical knowledge and surgeon’s technical skills. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement knowledge with research and identify other causes of adverse events in ORs.
In this paper, the expert team ranked 15 factors representing the causes that affect surgeons’ efficiency in operating rooms. The analysis is based on multidisciplinary ergonomic approach. The application of results is necessary for further improvement of surgeons’ efficiency, and better and more humane design of ORs. The results of this research are the basis for further research of the efficiency of professional medical staff.
