[Optimization of critical care according to the principles applied in aeronautics]

Abstract

Care requires the full attention of caregivers, particularly in emergencies, where it consumes energy and generates emotions. To be efficient and to remain so, we must know how to manage our stress with full awareness. The culture of quality in the aeronautics industry teaches us to adjust the right tension over time, individually or as a team, on a daily basis as well as in times of crisis. The management of a patient in a critical somatic or psychological situation has strong similarities with the aeronautical crisis management model, which allows us to draw inspiration from it.
