An observer tool to enhance learning of incoming anesthesia residents' skills during simulation training of central venous catheter insertion: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion using simulation is an essential skill for anesthesiologists. Simulation training is an effective mean to master this skill. Given the large number of residents and the limited duration of training sessions, the active practice time is limited and residents remain observers of their colleagues for much of the session. To improve learning during observation periods, the use of an observer tool (OT) has been advocated but its educational effectiveness is not well defined.

Methods

Incoming anesthesia residents were randomized to use an OT (i.e. procedural skill-based checklist) (OT+) or not (OT-) when observing other residents during a simulation bootcamp. The primary outcome was a composite score (total 60 points) evaluating C
