Consensus guidelines on the bedside assistant skills required in robotic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While bedside assistants play a critical role in many robotic operations, substantial heterogeneity remains in bedside assistant training pathways. As such, this study aimed to develop consensus guidelines for bedside assistant skills required for team members in robotic operations.

Methods

We designed a study using the Delphi process to develop consensus guidelines around bedside assistant skills. We generated an initial list of bedside assistant skills from the literature, training materials, and expert input. We selected experts for the Delphi process based on prior scholarship in the area of robotic bedside assistant education and experience facilitating robotic bedside assistant training. For each item, respondents specified which robotic team members should
