Motor vehicle driving performance of anesthesia residents after overnight work shifts
Editor's Note
After six consecutive night shifts, anesthesia residents experienced significantly impaired control of all driving variables including speed, lane position, throttle, and steering in a driving simulator. They also were more likely to be involved in collisions.
In addition, reaction times increased with a significant increase in the number of minor and major lapses in attention.
House staff safety should receive the same careful attention that is given to patient safety, the authors note.
