Abstract
Surgeons and anesthesiologists are generally recognized as the 2 leading roles in the operating room (OR), each with their unique knowledge base, skill set, and clinical focus. Professionals working together in a complex system require a high level of teamwork to maximize performance, safety, and workplace satisfaction. The relationship between surgeons and anesthesiologists has a profound influence on team dynamics, team effectiveness, and patient outcomes, but data on strategies to facilitate collaboration between these 2 professions are relatively limited. In this study, the second part of a broader investigation, we explored interactions between individuals in the 2 specialties to characterize barriers to effective collaboration and strategies and tactics to promote collaboration. In the first phase of the broader investigation, we analyzed perceptions and expectations between surgeons and anesthesiologists. We explore here how to overcome the barriers, which are partly a consequence of preexisting perceptions and expectations. Because of the relative paucity of data on this topic, we chose qualitative research methods to characterize the surgeon–anesthesiologist relationship. This study is reported in accordance with the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research Checklist. The Mass General Brigham IRB determined that this study meets the criteria for exemption 45CFR46.101(b)(3). Nonetheless, we followed general principles of subject confidentiality and data protection.
