Table 1. List of Provider Dyads.

Interactions between 6 providers of interest create fifteen dyads, listed below. At our institution, the in-room anesthetist can be an anesthesiology resident, certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), or certified anesthesiologist assistant (CAA). Surgical nurses can both scrub cases and act as circulators. For the purposes of this paper, a scrub is denoted by their role and not their background (RN versus technologist).
