Excerpts

Participant 1: I like the red hats…It just helps with a lot of the communication

Participant 2: I want to second that. I like knowing kind of who to go to, who to look for, for what's my direction?

I was looking for a hat, I didn't see one

Faculty: I have to apologize. I did not hear declaration of, I'm anesthesia lead and I'm nurse lead

Learner: I did

I assume that you took over as anesthesia lead Um, but um, I don't really ever hear you saying I'm the anesthesia lead

 

I really liked the visual designation of the leaders in the room and I think that's really helpful

I was doing compressions for a while, so I feel like I never looked up. So I had no idea who was the lead

Faculty: Did anybody actually hear him declare the leadership?

Learner: I did, but I was standing right next to him

Faculty: Did anybody hear him declare himself as the anesthesia lead?

Participant 1: No

Participant 2: I just know he was because he had on a red hat
