An Experimental Simulation of Heat Effects on Cognition and Workload of Surgical Team Members

An Experimental Simulation of Heat Effects on Cognition and Workload of Surgical Team Members

Objective: To isolate heat exposure as a cause of cognitive impairment and increased subjective workload in burns surgical teams. Summary of Background Data: Raising ambient temperature of the operating room can improve burns patient outcomes, but risks increased cognitive impairment and workload of...
