Abstract
Distractions and interruptions during clinical activities can decrease performance and increase the risk of error. The incidence and impact of distracting events on anaesthetic teams during the critical phases of general anaesthesia are unknown. The purpose of this study was to quantify and analyse the frequency, the source and the impact of these events during the period of induction of general anaesthesia.
