Abstract
Night float work schedules were designed to ensure resident work hour compliance and to address growing concerns regarding the affect of fatigue on resident psychomotor and cognitive skills after traditional 24-hour call work schedules. Whether this transition to night float schedules has decreased resident fatigue and improved performance is still in debate. This study was designed to compare the psychomotor performance of general surgery residents on both work schedule types. We hypothesized that when measured with novel laparoscopic simulator tasks, there would be no difference in psychomotor performance.
