The Role of Simulation-Based Training to Improve Team Performance in Implementing One Sepsis Hour Bundle in Intensive Care Unit

This was an experimental randomized single-blind study to examine the role of simulation-based training in improving team performance in conducting sepsis management. Subjects were sixteen doctors and twenty-four nurses working in the intensive care unit. The subjects were randomly divided into two treatment groups: the discussion group and the simulation group. Each treatment group was further divided into four small groups consisting of two doctors and three nurses. Prior to the training, every subject received a pretest for cognitive evaluation and a posttest at the end of the training. The performance of both groups in implementing one-hour sepsis bundle was assessed by solving a sepsis case in high fidelity manikin.
