An interventional study of Medical simulator training and Simulator based crew resource management course in Performance in Simulated Emergencies, Stress During Simulator Scenario and Behaviour of Physicians in Simulated Emergencies, sponsored by Technische Universität Dresden. Completed at 1 site in Germany. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2008-06-27.
Sponsored by Technische Universität Dresden · Not applicable and Interventional
In Intensive Care Medicine, critical incidents are not rare and may result in fatal outcome. High fidelity patient simulators are commonly used in training curricula for healthcare professionals especially in anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and intensive care medicine. Several different course concepts have previously been published. As we know from recently published data, up to 80% of all critical incidents in the field of medicine are caused by human error. The authors of the present study aimed to investigate the effects of two different course concepts (one addressing technical skills in intensive care medicine and on addressing non-technical skills) on stress and performance. Stress and performance are measured in a pre-intervention and a post-intervention testing scenario.

Contains seminars on airway management, general anesthesia, peri-arrest arrhythmias, and advanced life support. Furthermore, participants train in simulator scenarios. In the debriefing instructors discuss management of the critical incidents using videotapes of the scenarios.
Contains seminars on human error and non-technical skills. Furthermore, participants train in simulator scenarios. In the debriefing instructors discuss usage of non-technical skills as well as behaviour of the participants using videotapes of the scenarios.
