Abstract

Crucial management steps in unexpected perioperative emergencies are frequently omitted by OR teams because of the suboptimal performance of the brain under stress.A cognitive aid is a tool that will help care providers to perform and speed up all the necessary management steps of a critical event. We have created a Dutch adaption of the Stanford Emergency Manual, a bundle of cognitive aids to manage a number of life threatening emergencies in the operating theatre. The effectiveness of these cognitive aids has been demonstrated in simulated emergencies. Their use has furthermore, been standard practice in other high-risk industries for many years. Further research should therefore mainly focus on the implementation and optimisation of these tools
