An interventional study of Positive communication during medical transmission in Positive Communication, Clinical Performance and Anaesthesiology, sponsored by University Grenoble Alps. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-04-18.

The emotional and cognitive impact of positive communication between caregivers remains uninvestigated. The investigators hypothesize that positive communication during medical transmission can increase clinical performance for managing a subsequent stressful unexpected adverse event.
When caregivers deal with acute stressful adverse events, cognitive overload and negative emotions can impair cognitive abilities and decrease clinical performance. The beneficial effect of positive communication on patients' emotions has widely been studied. However, the emotional and cognitive impact of positive communication between caregivers remains uninvestigated. The primary purpose of this trial is to study the impact of positive communication between anaesthetic teams during medical transmissions on clinical performance for managing a subsequent stressful unexpected adverse event. Secondary outcomes are to study the impact of positive communication on physiological (heart rate variability) and psychological (psychometric scales) levels of stress.

Inclusion criteria
Anaesthetic teams composed with :
Non-inclusion criteria
Positive communication during medical transmission
Other: Positive communication during medical transmission
Medical transmission with non-optimized communication.
Use of positive communication for medical transmission to the anaesthetic team who takes over the patient.
Clinical performance of the anaesthetic team
Clinical performance in a simulated scenario of laryngospasm occurring in a 7 year old child under general anaesthesia. Clinical performance will be scored from 0 to 100 by two independent blinded assessors, using video records and a pre-established scenario-specific checklist. The primary endpoint will be the mean of the two assessments for each performance.
Time frame: Each anaesthetic team will be involved once in the scenario. The scenario will last about 6 min (transmission not included). Both assessment of clinical performance will be made within 20 weeks of each simulation session
Heart rate variability
Standard deviation of the average of RR intervals (SDNN in milliseconds) in participants
Time frame: Before the scenario (during 5 min), during medical transmission (2 min), during the scenario before the laryngospasm (2 min), during the laryngospasm (4 min), during the debriefing (20 min), after the debriefing (5 min)
Self-reported stress
Stress level self reported by participants on visual analogical scale (VAS from 0 to 100); One end of the scale represents the maximum conceivable symptom strength (i. e., 100%), the other end no symptoms whatsoever (i. e., 0%).
Time frame: Before the scenario (at 5 min), after medical transmission (at 7 min), after the scenario (at 13 min), after debriefing (at 33 min)
Ran from Nov 2017 to primary completion in Jun 2018, 7 months.
Of 390 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Communication, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 36. This study's 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 394 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 36.
