Does clinical experience influence the effects of team simulation training in stroke thrombolysis? A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

After introducing a team simulation training programme at our hospital, we saw a reduction in door-to-needle times (DNT) for stroke thrombolysis but persisting variability prompting further investigation. Our objective is to examine this gap through assessing: (1) whether there is an association between DNT and the clinical experience of neurology registrars and (2) whether experience influences the benefits from attending simulation.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting and participants

Patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis between January 2016 and 2020 at a Norwegian stroke centre.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Using DNT and prior intravenous thrombolysis administrations (case-based definition of clinical experience) as contin
