To optimize the functioning of an operating room the interactions of the staff (physicians and nurses) and other stakeholders (administrators) must be understood. Game theory provides a representation of the interactions that typically take place in the operating room environment. By understanding the types of games/interactions that occur the participants can better predict outcome and adapt their own behavior to optimize that outcome. Types of games seen in the operating room include fixed-sum, zero-sum, and non-zero-sum games. The Prisoner's Dilemma game and some of its variations are used to illustrate common interactions in the operating room. Examples of strategies for typical scenarios are discussed as well as ways to improve the outcome of the games. A better understanding of human behavior can improve the functioning of complex systems such as that found in the operating room.
为优化手术室的运作，必须了解工作人员（医生和护士）与其他利益相关者（管理人员）之间的互动。博弈论提供了手术室环境中通常发生的互动的一种表示方式。通过了解所发生的博弈/互动类型，参与者可以更好地预测结果，并调整自己的行为以优化该结果。在手术室中看到的博弈类型包括固定总和博弈、零和博弈和非零和博弈。囚徒困境博弈及其一些变体被用来阐释手术室中的常见互动。还讨论了典型场景的策略示例以及改善博弈结果的方法。对人类行为的更好理解可以改善诸如手术室这样的复杂系统的运作。
