surgical team communication

Surgical team communication involves clear, precise sharing of information among all team members—surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, and technicians—before, during, and after surgery. This ensures everyone understands their roles, patient details, and the procedure plan. Effective communication minimizes errors, promotes safety, and allows prompt responses to any issues. It includes verbal exchanges, written notes, and non-verbal cues, fostering a coordinated effort. Good communication is essential for patient safety and successful surgical outcomes.
