#140 Combating Cognitive Bias in Anesthesiology

Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.Tune in today as we continue our discussion of cognitive bias in anesthesiology. This is a threat to anesthesia patient safety, so we need the tools to be able to recognize cognitive bias when it occurs, acknowledge the implications for patient safety, and work to reduce the impact of cognitive bias when we provide anesthesia care. Spoiler alert: the first step to combating cognitive bias is increasing education and awareness.Additional sound effects from: Zapsplat.© 2023, The Anesthesia Patient Safety FoundationFor show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/140-combating-cognitive-bias-in-anesthesiology/
