Brief Summary

This is an international, collaborative study evaluating the non-technical skills (NTS) of anesthesiology residents. The goal is to explore the capability of performing a remote, international AR simulation for the purpose of assessing PALS during a medical crisis. Simulation experts in the United States will facilitate the AR simulations with anesthesiology residents in Hong Kong. The medical simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices in accordance with the American Heart Association.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Individual performance of non-technical skills assessed by Anaesthetist Non-Technical Skills (ANTS)

  The Anaesthetist Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) scoring system uses four categories assessing task management, teamworking, situation awareness and decision-making (1 to 4 points by categories). The minimum score is 4 and the maximum 16

  immediately after simulation

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Individual performance of non-technical skills assessed by Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS)

  immediately after simulation

• System Usability Scale (SUS) Score

  immediately after simulation

• The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Ergonomic scale

  immediately after simulation

Study Arms (1)

Mixed Reality Simulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the experimental arm will be introduced to workplace training modules through an Augmented Reality (AR) headset.

Other: Augmented Reality (AR)

Interventions

Augmented Reality (AR) OTHER

AR headset - a device that the participants will wear over their head and eyes and will add holographic elements to a live view of workplace training scenario
