Critical Care EEG Course

NCT03545776 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Critical Care EEG Course
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 6

Brief Summary

Knowledge of the basic fundamental skills of electroencephalography would enable medical and nursing staffs to provide efficient and effective bedside EEG monitoring in critically ill patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of a 10-points EEG teaching program to allow bedside caregivers (medical and nursing intensive care unit staff) interpreting EEG in the critical care setting.

Conditions

Electroencephalogram; Intensive Care Units; Teaching Intervention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Overall EEG interpretation

  Percentage of learners with a correct answer rate.Training will be considered as efficient if more than 75% of learners are associated with a correct answer rate above 80% to EEG interpretation test at day 90 after initial training.

  at Day 90

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Before/After Comparison

  from Day 1 to Day 90 after face-to-face training

Study Arms (1)

Educational program

Medical and nursing staff will be given a 10-points EEG face-to-face initial training course that will be preceded by a pre-test evaluation and followed by delayed post-test evaluations. Training will be followed by an online teaching consisting on additional questions and answers quizzes based on the 10 educational goals already described elsewhere. In order to avoid any risk of intrasite contamination, all the learners benefiting from the training in the same department will be trained in a uniform time, with respect to the training schedule regarding post-test evaluations (day-1, day-15 and day-30). A final evaluation will be performed at day-90 after beginning of the training course.

Interventions

Critical Care EEG Course OTHER

Medical and nursing staff will be given a 10-points EEG face-to-face initial training course followed by an online teaching and educational quizzes at day-1, day-15 and day-30 after initial training. A final evaluation will be performed at day-90 after beginning of the training course. 10-points EEG educational objectives : physiological rhythms, reactivity, symmetry, effects of sedation, burst suppression, paroxysmal activities, periodic / pseudoperiodic activities, rhythmic activities, artifacts, null EEG
