Self-awareness of personal coping mechanisms. Realistic understanding of the workload.

Clinical judgement

Strategies to prevent and treat pulmonary hypertensive crises (e.g., avoiding acidosis, hypoxia, hypercarbia). Specific anesthetic agents that minimize pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Team communication

Uses a constructive, supportive approach. Focuses on specific observations and actionable advice.

Professional responsibility

Prioritizes patient safety by recognizing incapacity to perform duties safely. Notifies supervisor or call leader immediately to arrange coverage.

Scholarship and improvement
