What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help hospitals design better schedules and safeguards to reduce surgeon fatigue and improve patient safety.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (8 surgeons) at one hospital, so results may not apply to all surgeons or settings. It only measures fatigue, not whether it directly causes errors.
As listed by the trial registrant
