Visual deprivation: The designated team leader performs the simulated scenario while wearing visual deprivation mask

Study summary

This multicenter randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the impact of temporary visual deprivation of the medical team leader on non-technical skills and team performance during high-fidelity simulated medical emergencies. The intervention is based on principles of crisis resource management and cognitive load theory. Team performance will be assessed using validated scoring tools immediately after the intervention and at three months follow-up.

Healthy volunteers
Accepted
The teams participating in the simulation sessions are composed as follows: * A senior doctor identified as the "medical leader" * An anaesthesia and intensive care intern * A state-registered nurse anaesthetist Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants with at least two years' experience in the specialty. a. For interns, an additional requirement is that they must have completed a semester in intensive care. 2. Recruited via simulation trainers at their respective hospitals or university hospitals. Exclusion Criteria: * The study cannot be carried out during a safety rest period (i.e. the day after being on call).

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Evolution of team performance on non-technicals skills — Before intervention (scenario 1) at day 1, immediately after (scenario 3) at day 1 and after the procedure (scenario 4) at 3 month
    Team performance on non-technicals skills measured using the validated Team emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) score assessed by blinded independent evaluators based on video recordings. TEAM score goes from 0 to 54 : 0 being the lowest level of non-technical competence (worst outcome) and 54 being the highest (better outcome)
