Improving Team Training During Mock Code Blue Simulations

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Education, Simulation
• Interventions: Behavioral: Just-in-time training (JITT)

• Registration Number: NCT02529215
• Lead Sponsor: The Hospital for Sick Children

Brief Summary

Communication and teamwork failures are the leading causes of errors in healthcare settings. In situ mock code simulations are a potential means to train team-based skills using simulation within real clinical care environments where errors occur; however, debriefing discussions often focus on gaps in learners' clinical skills as opposed to team functioning. This study aims to determine whether learners who are pre-trained using just-in-time simulation regarding CPR quality and medication administration will exhibit improved performance with respect to these skills during in situ mock codes as well as improved team functioning.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Just-in-time training (JITT) group	Just-in-time training (JITT)	Receive a 20min just-in-time simulation-based teaching session targeting: (1) CPR quality and (2) medication administration within 3 hours of the scheduled in situ simulation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Team-based non-technical skills	Time Frame: All data will be collected during the one hour when participants engage in the in situ mock code simulation	Measured using the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) scale

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
CPR quality	Time Frame: All data will be collected during the one hour when participants engage in the in situ mock code simulation	Measured using the Zoll R series defibrillator (compressions per minute (cpm), depth in millimeters (mm), and compression fraction)
