Key result
Professional burnout in anesthesia and critical care is driven by sleep deficit, fatigue, and stress, requiring comprehensive organizational strategies such as regulated work hours and planned naps.
Unregulated duty hours and demanding jobs lead to burnout in anesthesiologists, which can impair cognitive function and increase patient morbidity and mortality.
Organizational strategies for burnout merit prospective testing; leaves open their impact on cognitive function and patient safety.
evaluation of data, development and implementation of strategies to maintain the desired safe patient status. These demands make the humans responsible to provide safe operations, stretch and strain their physiological system to the limits. recent French investigation revealed existence of stress in as high as 29.8% of professionals working in the operating theatre. 6 Also, in another survey, majority of Irish residents in anaesthesiology felt that work-related stress affected their health and performance. he human physiology follows a circadian pattern of alertness and performance and needs vital time for sleep and breaks to avoid burn out. Unregulated duty hours and demanding job often leads to development of burnout in anesthesiologists. This can impair the individual's cognitive function. Poor vigilance due to lack of rest and sleep can lead to errors and thereby increase morbidity/mortality. Now-a-days there is a stress on quality and patient safety.
