Impact of Noise on Anesthesiologists' and Trainees' Situational Awareness in a High Fidelity Simulation Environment

Canada30 participantsStarted 2019-02-28

Plain-language summary

The study is a single blinded randomized control trial. Participants were blinded to the purpose of the study and to the level of noise they would be exposed. Anesthesiology residents and certified anesthesiologists were recruited.The goal of this study was to measure the time needed to initiate treatment(TNIT) of a severe bradycardia while performing a spinal anesthesia in a high-fidelity simulation environment with either a low or a high ambient dB-level.
