The entire operating room team is responsible for the safety of children in the operating room. As a leader in the operating room, the surgeon is impactful in ensuring that all team members are committed to providing this safe environment. This is achieved by the use of perioperative huddles or briefings, the use of appropriate surgical checklists, operating room standardization, surgeons proficient in the care they provide, and team members that embrace Just Culture.
