Crisis resource management applied to non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery

Programs for non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery have increasingly become available everywhere. Less invasiveness and quicker recovery are the main advantages. However, issues could arise. The principles of crisis resource management (CRM) must be observed for the proper prevention and management of all these potentially life-threatening crises. Additionally, they want to use clinical simulation as a method to create various scenarios that would enhance teamwork. This paper’s goal is to evaluate and summarize simulation-based CRM training programs for a specific surgery, including the management of certain surgical and medical critical scenarios.
