Demonstrating         self-awareness	Is not aware of when own limits are reached

“It is possible to briefly justify a decision, especially if you believe that there are more opinions about what is happening right now.” TA3
“I have noticed that communication works better if I know who has which competence and their names. I think the team-making process is very vulnerable, especially in acute situations. If you use names, then you know more where you have each other, it creates more trust.” CA1	Team working	Importance of presenting oneself to OR team members with name and competence.

“It is just that the anaesthesiologist needs to orientate himself or herself about what is going to happen, and if the operation is on the patient’s right shoulder, then the tube should rather not be in that side of the mouth.” S3	Task management	The anaesthesiologist needs to incorporate knowledge about the operation into the planning of the anaesthesia.	Planning and preparing	Incorporates knowledge of the specific operation in the planning of anaesthesia
“It is important to know the operation more or less, to know when it can be critical, and if there is bleeding and if it will be very painful afterwards.”  CA3
