Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a semi-structured intraoperative anesthesia handoff tool on patient outcomes and to assess the validity of the 5-Factor Perceived Shared Mental Model Scale (5-PSMMS) in a healthcare setting and whether the perception of Shared Mental Model (SMM) mediates the effect of the intraoperative handoff tool on postoperative outcomes

Who is the study for?
This trial is for surgical patients who could experience postoperative complications. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, so it's unclear who exactly can participate or what conditions might prevent someone from joining.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new semi-structured intraoperative anesthesia handoff tool against the standard of care to see if it improves patient outcomes after surgery. It also evaluates a scale called the 5-PSMMS in healthcare settings.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves procedural changes rather than medications, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be risks associated with miscommunication or errors during the handoff process.
