title: Decision-making in anaesthesia.
abstract: Anaesthetists work as part of a process and deal with complex situations in their daily work. Considerable effort is put into training anaesthetists, but little has been done either in research or improving awareness of the intangible components of the anaesthesia system that affect safety, such as decision-making. The purpose of this article is to apply the principles of decision-making to anaesthesia practice.
