RAMIREZ, Adonis T.. Surgery as a symphony. A project for team and coordinated work. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.4, pp.550-552.  Epub Feb 12, 2021. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.673.

Patient safety is one of the most important aspects of care in an operating room. Coordinated teamwork, coupled with leadership, allows mistakes to be fewer. Maintaining a stable team in the operating room, who knows the procedures well, and where each participant knows the role they play, is one of the most important factors to achieve efficient work, with a reduction in complications and surgical time. Comparing work in the operating room with a symphony orchestra helps us understand the importance of coordinated work.
