Intraoperative Time-Out to Promote the Implementation of the Critical View of Safety in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Video-Based Assessment of 343 Procedures.
The critical view of safety (CVS) is poorly adopted in surgical practices, although it is recommended ubiquitously to prevent major bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study aimed to investigate whether performing a short intraoperative time-out can improve CVS implementation. ⋯ Performing a short intraoperative time-out was associated with an improved CVS achievement rate. Systematic intraoperative cognitive aids should be studied to sustain the uptake of guidelines.
