Simulation-based learning significantly improved resident competency in managing sepsis patients in intermediate care units. This training bundle enhanced skills for both junior and senior residents, ensuring consistent performance across different experience levels.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Sepsis Management

Background:

  • Intermediate care units (ImCUs) are suitable for managing selected sepsis patients.
  • Structured training protocols are essential for resident development in critical care.
  • Acquiring sepsis management competencies is crucial for resident performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a simulation-based learning bundle for residents.
  • To assess the acquisition of sepsis management skills during an ImCU internship.
  • To determine if simulation training improves resident performance in sepsis cases.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study at a tertiary-care academic medical center (2014-2017).
  • Simulation-based learning bundle included sepsis scenarios, instructional material, lectures, and ImCU rotation.

  • Residents evaluated using a sepsis-checklist assessing hemodynamics, oxygenation, antibiotics, organ injury, and miscellaneous factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Total median scores significantly increased post-training (12 to 23, P=.001).
    • Initial performance gaps between junior and senior residents were eliminated after training.
    • Internal Medicine residents initially scored higher, but all residents achieved similar performance post-training.

    Conclusions:

    • A combined approach of medical simulation, didactic lectures, and ImCU rotation effectively builds sepsis management competencies.
    • The developed sepsis-checklist provides objective performance evaluation for residents.
    • This training strategy identifies and addresses areas for improvement in managing critically ill sepsis patients.
