[Aviation and high-altitude medicine for anaesthetists. Part 4: human performance limitations and crew resource management]

Abstract

For pilots and doctors, as well as a variety of other professions the knowledge of human performance limitations is essential, especially in critical situations. Crew resource management was developed in the 1980s in the aviation industry in order to ensure systematic training and support in such instances. Just recently, the value is recognized not only in other high reliability organizations but also in medicine.
