“Attention Everyone, Time Out!”: Safety Attitudes and Checklist Practices in Anesthesiology in Germany. A Cross-Sectional Study

Conclusions Our study paints a heterogeneous picture of the implementation, usage, and safety attitudes concerning the Safe Surgery Checklist as promoted by the WHO. The lack of standardized execution and team-mindedness can be taken as further evidence for the importance of interdisciplinary training focusing on human factors, communication, and collaboration rather than the mere implementation by decree.
