Rapid-cycle deliberate practice improves time to defibrillation and reduces workload: A randomized controlled trial of simulation-based education.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The optimal structure of simulation to train teams to perform pediatric advanced life support (PALS) requires further research. Most simulation is structured with an uninterrupted scenario with postsimulation debriefing (PSD). Rapid-cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) is structured with a series of simulations with microdebriefing quickly switching within action targeting specific performance goals.

Objective

The objective was to compare team performance immediately after training, as well as learner workload, for teams trained using either PSD or RCDP.

Methods

In 2018-2019, a total of 41 interprofessional teams of 210 residents and nurses were recruited from 250 eligible participants (84%) and randomized into either arm (RCDP or PSD) teaching the same objecti
