Evaluation of anesthesiology residents in the diagnosis and control of malignant hyperthermia: comparison of three scenarios of realistic simulation ‒ a cross-sectional controlled study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Simulation-based training is particularly beneficial for rare and life-threatening diseases such as Malignant Hyperthermia (MH). In addition, cognitive aids, including flowcharts and checklists, can be used as guidance in crisis, reducing cognitive demand and simplifying patient care. We assessed the technical and non-technical performance of anesthesiology residents when diagnosing and treating a hypothetical case of MH in three different scenarios.

Methods

This was an observational, cross-sectional, and controlled study. Pairs of anesthesiology residents participated in a validated high-fidelity MH realistic simulation in one of three different scenarios: 1) Control (no access to cognitive aids), 2) Poster, or 3) Mobile application. Both poster and mobile appl
