In these cases, 4 surgeons, 2 surgical fellows, 12 surgical residents, 6 anaesthesiologists, 5 anaesthesiology residents, 9 anaesthesiology nurses, 27 theatre nurses and 16 medical interns participated (N = 81). The baseline characteristics of participants are presented in Table 1. The debriefings took place approximately 14 working days (median, IQR 41) after the recorded procedure. On average, 4 (out of 7–8) team members (median, IQR 3) attended their team debriefing. In total, 151 questionnaires were completed. The mean score on the question: “How important do you feel it is to be able to structurally debrief surgical procedures with the entire team” was 8.44 (SD 1.2, 10-point Likert scale).
