An interventional study of Simulation on Pediatric Status Epilepticus and Didactic Lecture on Pediatric Status Epilepticus in Medical Education and Simulation, sponsored by University of British Columbia. Recruiting at 1 site in Canada. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-05.
Sponsored by University of British Columbia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The goal of the randomized educational intervention study is to test whether simulation preceding didactic teaching leads to improved knowledge and performance retention compared to a didactic lecture proceeding simulation for medical students
Participants will be randomized to one of two different groups with reverse orders for simulation and lectures.
Researchers will compare each group to see which way is better for learning.
University of British Columbia is the lead sponsor of 1,309 studies on the registry; 253 are open to participants now.
Of its 6 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 1 (17%) have results posted.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
This group will start with a Simulation and debrief followed by a didactic lecture afterwards. They will then complete a simulation 2 months later.

The participants will complete a simulation session and debrief lead by a pediatric emergency medicine physician on status epilepticus.
The participants will complete a lecture on pediatric status epilepticus
Change from baseline in resuscitation performance retention score 2 months post-initial training assessed using global simulation performance score
The scoring sheet used will be the Global Simulation performance score a one to seven scale that assess over medical expertise performance in the simulation with higher values representing increased competence.
Time frame: From initial simulation until repeat simulation 2 months later
Change in knowledge assessment score at 2 months post-initial training assessed using an MCQ
The knowledge test is a 15 questions multiple choice exam scored from 0 to 15 with higher numbers representing a higher score.
Time frame: From initial knowledge test until repeat testing 2 months later
Learner satisfaction measured by Likert scale items after each simulation debrief
The Likert scale will be a one to five scale with higher scores representing increased satisfaction
Time frame: Single time metric completed five minutes after initial simulation session
Time to resuscitation metrics
The following "time to" metrics will be measured from simulation start until completion of each activity within that simulation: glucose check, IV access, first-line anti-epileptic administration, second-line anti-epileptic administration, chemistry panel
Time frame: The time for each metric will be measured once during the second evaluatory simulation 2 months after the initial simulation and participant enrolment.
