Abstract

An intensive care unit and a warship share some similarities: proximity to death, operating 24/7, fatigue, tension, and preeminence of high-technology. These similarities encourage to compare methods to prevent and analyse errors in both systems. A comparison was intended to identify common problems and exchange ideas for improvement. Despite clearly different systems, the central problem of guilt is a common obstacle to the establishment of a system of progress based on the analysis of malfunctions.
