Surgery black box aims to cut errors in hybrid operating rooms
NCT ID NCT04854278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study installs a 'black box' recording system in hybrid operating rooms to capture and analyze errors during vascular procedures. Researchers will study how teamwork, leadership, and the environment affect surgical performance and patient safety. The goal is to identify high-risk situations and develop strategies to prevent mistakes. About 400 patients having planned vascular surgery will take part.
