Baste, Jean-Marc Bottet, Benjamin Lefevre-Scelles, Antoine Damm, Cedric Francina, Sébastien Henry, Jean-Pierre Team Training and Crisis Resource Management in Robot-Assisted Thoracic Surgery <p>To deal with nontechnical skills (Notechs) is a matter of culture and is hard to implement in surgical training. Communication, cooperation, decision-making, leadership, and situational awareness are concepts for many and their application in surgical practice is challenging. The competency framework in cardiothoracic surgery has evolved towards wider components including Notechs as a cornerstone in surgeon training. However, knowledge of Notechs should be associated with practical sessions, using simulation as an innovative teaching tool.</p><p>In this video, the authors present their crisis resource management (CRM) program for robot-assisted thoracic surgical (RATS) procedures. The CRM simulation demonstrated allows the team to practice the successful management of major bleeding during a RATS lobectomy.</p><p><strong>Additional Resources</strong></p><ol><li>Arriaga AF, Bader AM, Wong JM, et al.
