Summary

The use of simulation is recommended in anesthesiology education. Given a large number of residents, all of them will not be active participants during high-fidelity simulation sessions but will only be observers. To increase the positive effects of the simulation when the learner is in the role of observer, some authors have proposed to strengthen the educational effect through the use of an observer tool that observers must complete by analyzing the progress of the task performed by their colleagues. This is a list describing the set of key points to be achieved. However, data concerning the educational value of these observer tools are limited. Studies on the use of these tools during crisis management training in the operating room assessed by high-fidelity simulation have shown improved learning outcomes for technical skills but no study has evaluated yet their effect on non-technical skills. The effect on these skills can hardly be assessed by measuring the resident's perception or knowledge and an objective assessment of performance is necessary.

The objective of this study will be to evaluate if using an observer tool (OT) dedicated to non-technical skills improves the learning of these skills in anesthesia residents during high-fidelity simulation.

Interventions

OTHER

observer tool

The observer tool used will be the Anaesthetist Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) tool previously published by Fletcher et al. and translated in French. The ANTS scoring system uses four categories assessing task management, teamworking, situation awareness and decision-making. The observers will use an observer tool it when they will be not role role-playing
