Sponsor's own description

Intraoperative stress among the surgical team can be a threat to patient safety and good teamwork. During surgery, surgeons often work under stressful conditions. Reducing intraoperative stress for surgeons could benefit surgeons and subsequently patients. Based on the hypothesis that an intraoperative pause including a sugar-containing drink would decrease surgeon's stress levels, the aim of this study is to compare stress levels, in relation to intraoperative stress and how this is affected by a pause including a sugar-containing drink in simulated operations.
