Simulation Team Training and Critical Event Checklist Use for Optimizing the Management of Critical Perioperative Events in an Ambulatory Surgical Facility (CEC)

November 15, 2013 updated by: Women's College Hospital

Critical Event Checklist Use for Management of Critical Events in Ambulatory Surgery

This study will determine if operating room teams manage a simulated event more effectively using a critical event checklist. Performance will be evaluated using a score based on how closely they follow a protocol for critical event management; a 'team' score and a score based on clinical recovery of the simulated patient. All teams will receive a debriefing session after managing 4 scenarios. Teams will return and manage 4 further scenarios after a period of 6-9 months.

The investigators will be testing the hypothesis that both clinical and behavioral team performance will improve with the use of Critical Event Checklists. The investigators also expect that health professional (participant) could attain knowledge related to the importance of non-technical skills and the use of CECs in the management of critical events.
