Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed Description
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Clinical performance of the anaesthetic team
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
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.
Secondary Outcomes
- Self-reported stress(Before the scenario (at 5 min), after medical transmission (at 7 min), after the scenario (at 13 min), after debriefing (at 33 min))
- Heart rate variability(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))
