Simulation-based assessments effectively evaluate anesthesia trainee acute care skills. Senior residents performed better, while managing postoperative events like anaphylaxis and stroke proved challenging for all trainees.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anesthesiology
  • Simulation-Based Training

Background:

  • Trained raters demonstrated reliability in scoring simulation-based anesthesia acute care skills in prior research.
  • Assessing acute care skill acquisition during training is crucial for anesthesia providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure the performance of student nurse anesthetists and resident physician trainees using a validated acute care skill evaluation.
  • To analyze trainee performance data for insights into acute care skill acquisition.
  • To gather data on the validity of simulation exercises for assessing critical event management.

Main Methods:

  • Six simulation-based acute care exercises were administered to 43 anesthesia trainees (28 residents, 15 student nurse anesthetists).

  • Participants were scored by six raters using detailed checklists, key-action items, or global ratings.
  • Trainee performance was analyzed based on education and clinical experience.

    • Main Results:

    • Senior residents, with more experience, achieved higher scores on simulation scenarios, supporting assessment validity.
    • Trainee abilities varied significantly across different exercise types.
    • While most trainees managed ventricular tachycardia effectively, recognizing and treating postoperative events like anaphylaxis and stroke presented difficulties for all.

    Conclusions:

    • A multiple-scenario, simulation-based performance evaluation can reliably assess trainee skills in managing critical events.
    • Simulation exercises offer a valuable tool for medical training programs to measure and improve provider acute care competency.
