Simulation-based assessment of trainee's performance in post-cardiac arrest resuscitation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess trainees' performance in managing a patient with post-cardiac arrest complicated by status epilepticus.

Methods

In this prospective, observational, single-center simulation-based study, trainees ranging from sub interns to critical care fellows evaluated and managed a post cardiac arrest patient, complicated by status epilepticus. Critical action items were developed by a modified Delphi approach based on American Heart Association guidelines and the Neurocritical Care Society's Emergency Neurological Life Support protocols. The primary outcome measure was the critical action item sum score. We sought validity evidence to support our findings by including attending neurocritical care physicians and comparing performance across four levels of training.
