Abstract

Crucial role of Non technical skills (NTS) in the dynamic environment of day to day anaesthetic practice is emerging. Rather than mere acceptance, efforts are being made world over to identify and assess them to overcome their negative effects by structured taxonomy both in real time and simulated conditions. Reduction in anaesthetic accidental mishaps and near misses is the prime concern from the point of patient safety and towards that end training and education have a pivotal role.

Key words: Non technical skills; Anaesthesia; Errors; Education & Training
