【 摘 要 】

Human performance deficiencies are responsible for slightly more than half of all adverse surgical outcomes, according to a review of approximately 5000 cases conducted by our Department of Surgery in 2018.1 Cognitive errors were found in this study to account for half of these human performance deficiencies. Extrapolated to the nearly 17 million operative procedures performed in the United States annually, these findings suggest that each year cognitive error is the source of nearly 200,000 potentially preventable surgical adverse events.
