From the literature on error detection, the authors select several concepts relating error detection mechanisms and prospective memory features. They emphasize the central role of intention in the classification of the errors into slips/lapses/mistakes, in the error handling process and in the usual distinction between action-based and outcome-based detection. Intention is again a core concept in their investigation of prospective memory theory, where they point out the contribution of intention retrievals, intention persistence and output monitoring in the individual's possibilities for detecting their errors. The involvement of the frontal lobes in prospective memory and in error detection is also analysed. From the chronology of a prospective memory task, the authors finally suggest a model for error detection also accounting for neural mechanisms highlighted by studies on error-related brain activity.

Error detection has not received much attention from the scientists since human error has been shown as the main cause of accident in complex systems. However, reducing the consequences of error depends largely on error detection. The goal of this paper is to synthesize the existing scientific knowledge on error detection, mostly based on studies conducted in laboratory or self reporting and to complete it through the analysis of a corpus of cases collected in a complex system: anaesthesia, in order to better describe how this knowledge can be used to improve our understanding of error detection modes. We used an anaesthesia accident reporting system we developed and organized at two Belgium University Hospitals to collect information about the error detection patterns. Results show that detection of errors principally occurred through standard check. We found significant relationships between the type of error, the type of error detection pattern, and the training level of the anaesthetist who committed the error. [less ▲]

Prospective study of hemodynamic disorders mesured by echocardiography and associated with endotoxemia in horses

Endotoxemia is the first mortality cause in intensive care horses. In human, hemodynamic disturbances have been showed to be associated with septic shock whereas in horses, this facet of endotoxemia has not yet been studied. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of endotoxin shock on equine cardiac function. Fifty horses admitted in clinic with signs of endotoxic shock and 17 healthy control horses were submitted to a doppler echocardiographic exam. The endotoxemic horses were classified in 4 groups according to their shock score based on clinical evaluation (heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate), non invasive systolic blood pressure, and blood tests (Packed cell volume and lactates). Score 1, 2, 3 and 4 groups included 11, 17, 12 and 10 horses, respectively. Left ventricular (LV) echocardiographic and Doppler parameters were compared between the 5 groups using a multivariable ANOVA analysis. The LV internal diameter, ejection time, ejection time corrected for HR and mean velocity of circumferential fiber shortening corrected for HR, the aortic velocity time integral and deceleration time, and the stroke volume were significantly lower, whereas the HR and the peak velocity of the late diastolic filling of the mitral Doppler flow and its velocity time integral were significantly higher in grade 2 to 4 endotoxemic horses than in control horses. Because of the tachycardia compensating the lower stroke volume in endotoxemic horses, the cardiac output was not significantly different between groups. Despite the fact that the increase in HR, the fall in preload and a probable decrease in afterload doubtless played a role in the observed changes, the results of this study suggest an impaired systolic and diastolic LV function in horses with moderate to severe endotoxemia. Doppler echocardiographic monitoring of the cardiovascular function could thus be of interest in equine intensive care. [less ▲]
