Engaging anaesthesia professionals as co-faculty in stroke thrombectomy simulation training: associations with clinical care and patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Simulation-based training for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) may improve care for patients with acute ischaemic stroke. This study investigated whether engaging anaesthesia professionals as co-faculty in an established in situ simulation programme influenced EVT care and patient outcomes.

Methods

This single centre pre-post interventional study (2017-2023) evaluated the impact of revising an EVT simulation training programme by engaging anaesthesia professionals in its design, delivery, and debriefing. Outcomes were measured by changes in: (1) anaesthetic management (relative and absolute time systolic blood pressure was outside protocol thresholds, hypoxic time, and protocol adherence), (2) workflow process (time metrics, successful revascularisation rates, and
