Abstract
Traditionally, the lack of skills and technical competencies has been associated with adverse events in the surgical area. However, it has been seen that a large percentage of these events are directly related to deficits in the non-technical skills (NTS) of the surgical team. Therefore, the evaluation of these has become a relevant topic to minimize errors and strengthen performance in the operating room. Multiple instruments have been developed for this purpose, both to analyze the operation of the complete equipment, and of each subgroup that comprises it. This article aims to summarize the key aspects of the methods that have been developed in recent years for the evaluation of NTS in the surgical area.
