What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate how temporarily blocking the vision of the medical team leader affects non-technical skills and overall team performance during high-fidelity simulated medical emergencies. The study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial based on crisis resource management and cognitive load theory principles. Researchers will assess team performance immediately after the intervention and again three months later using validated scoring tools. The study includes two groups: one where the designated team leader performs the simulated medical emergency wearing a visual deprivation mask, and a control group where leaders perform the scenario without any visual deprivation. This behavioral intervention is carried out during simulation sessions involving medical teams composed of a senior doctor as the medical leader, an anesthesia and intensive care intern, and a nurse anesthetist. Participants will engage in multiple simulated scenarios on the same day and have follow-up assessments three months later. Researchers will measure changes in team non-technical skills, clinical performance, medical leadership skills, and theoretical knowledge of soft skills. Anxiety levels caused by the intervention will also be assessed. The study will monitor these outcomes at baseline, immediately after, and at three months to understand the intervention's effects over time.
