Brief Summary

Learning to insert a central venous catheter (CVC) is essential in anesthesiology and the use of simulation is recommended. Since 2017, this training has been integrated into the curriculum for incoming first year anesthesia residents in Île de France and combines a theoretical part (flipped classroom) and a practical part on a simulator. Given the large number of residents, the time to teach the procedure during the simulation session is limited. 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 has been already conducted but not on their use during procedural simulation. The objective of this study will be to assess the value of using an observer tool (OT) (including the key points during the insertion of an internal jugular CVC) to improve learning outcomes of incoming anesthesia residents during procedural simulation training.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• composite score describing acquisition of the CVC procedural skills using a questionnaire immediately after training

  The questionnaire of the composite score includes : 20 knowledge MCQs (/ 20), questions about the perception of practical (0 to 10) and theoretical (0 to 10) improvement of knowledge and skills, perception of the future professional impact of this training (0 to 10) and satisfaction with the training session (0 to 10). All items scored out of 10 will be measured by a Likert scale from 0 to 10.

  10 minutes at the end of the session

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• question of each item of the composite score

  10 minutes at the end of the session

• retention using a questionnaire by e-mail (self-report)

  10 minutes at 1 month

• Evaluation of professional practice using a questionnaire by e-mail (self-report)

  1 minutes during the first month after

• Evaluation of professional practice using a questionnaire by e-mail (self-report)

  2 minutes during the first month after

Study Arms (2)

group OT +

EXPERIMENTAL

In this group (OT +), the resident will complete an observer tool each time another resident is observed to insert a CVC on the simulator.

Other: observer tool

group OT-

NO INTERVENTION

In this group (OT-), the resident will not use the observer tool and will observe other residents to insert a CVC on the simulator without any physical support.

Interventions

observer tool OTHER

comparison of the efficacy of an observer tool to enhance learning of technical skills of CVC insertion in anesthesiology residents The resident will complete an observer tool each time another resident is observed to insert a CVC on the simulator.
