Manejo de recursos en crisis: un camino al trabajo interprofesional

The concept of resource management in a crisis was taken from the aviation and adapted to anesthesiology by Dr. David Gaba, in order to reduce medical errors caused by inadequate communication, poor teamwork, lack of material and human resources, etc. To achieve this goal, along with Drs. Steven Howard and Kevin Fish, they postulated fifteen necessary key points to control crisis situations, which range from getting to know the environment where professionals work, to understanding what is needed to integrate an efficient team. In this paper, we describe the relationship and the importance of resource management in a crisis with interprofesional work, and how to implement the different key points.
