          Abstract

          Introduction: High-fidelity simulation is an efficient and holistic teaching method. However, assessing simulation performances remains a challenge. We aimed to develop a CanMEDS competency-based global rating scale for internal medicine trainees during simulated acute care scenarios. Methods: Our scale was developed using a formal Delphi process. Validity was tested using six videotaped scenarios of two residents managing unstable atrial fibrillation, rated by 6 experts. Psychometric properties were determined using a G-study and a satisfaction questionnaire.Results: Most evaluators favorably rated the usability of our scale, and attested that the tool fully covered CanMEDS competencies. The scale showed low to intermediate generalization validity.Conclusions: This study demonstrated some validity arguments for our scale. The best assessed aspect of performance was communication; further studies are planned to gather further validity arguments for our scale and to compare assessment of teamwork and communication during scenarios with multiple versus single residents.

          Anaesthetists' non-technical skills.

          This review presents the background to the development of the anaesthetists' non-technical skills (ANTS) taxonomy and behaviour rating tool, which is the first non-technical skills framework specifically designed for anaesthetists. We share the experience of the anaesthetists who designed ANTS in relation to applying it in a department of anaesthesia, using it in a simulation centre, and the process of introducing it to the profession on a national basis. We also consider how ANTS is being applied in relation to training and research in other countries and finally, we discuss emerging issues in relation to the introduction of a non-technical skills approach in anaesthesia.

            Nontechnical skills in anesthesia crisis management with repeated exposure to simulation-based education.

            Critical incident reporting and observational studies have identified nontechnical skills that are vital to successful anesthesia crisis management. Examples of such skills include task management, team working, situation awareness, and decision making. These skills are not necessarily acquired through clinical experience and may need to be specifically taught. This study uses a high-fidelity patient simulator to assess the effect of repeated exposure to simulated anesthesia crises on the nontechnical skills of anesthesia residents. After institutional research board approval and informed consent, 20 anesthesia residents were recruited. Each resident was randomized to participate as the primary anesthesiologist in the management of three different simulated anesthesia crises using a high-fidelity patient simulator. After each session, videotaped footage was used to facilitate debriefing of their nontechnical skills. The videotapes were later reviewed by two expert blinded independent assessors who rated each resident's nontechnical skills by using a previously validated and reliable marking system. : A significant improvement in the nontechnical skills of residents was demonstrated from their first to second session and from their first to third session (both P < 0.005). However from their second to third session, no significant improvement was observed. Interrater reliability between assessors was modest (single rater intraclass correlation = 0.53). A single exposure to anesthesia crises using a high-fidelity patient simulator can improve the nontechnical skills of anesthesia residents. However, an additional simulation session may confer little or no additional benefit.
