Investigators mailed surveys to anesthesiologists and surgeons to determine potential misreporting of information among providers in perioperative care. The majority of anesthesiologist respondents had concerns that surgeons misrepresented information, and a modest proportion of surgeons and anesthesiologists reported regularly misrepresenting information to each other. Although limited by a low response rate, these results raise concern about safety culture in the operating room.
