Cognitive Aids Clinical Trial
Official title:
Use of a Wearable Digital Cognitive Aid in Simulated Anesthesia and Intensive Care Crises.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a wearable digital cognitive aid has an effect in the management of simulated crises in anesthesia or intensive care.
" Errare humanum est ", to err is human. This Latin saying attributed to Seneca shows that
since the dawn of time, human beings are aware that managing complex situations will always
be an inexhaustible source of mistakes. This is particularly true in anesthesia and
intensive care in which situations are often complex and stressful, thus leading to mistakes
or inadequate management. Improvement might arise from the use of cognitive aids.
The investigators designed a smartphone application including 5 scenarios of anesthesia and
intensive care crises (malignant hyperthermia, anaphylactic shock, acute toxicity of local
anesthetics, severe and symptomatic hyperkaliemia, ventricular fibrillation), easy to use
with a manual validation of every simple step. Investigators seek to compare the technical
and non technical management of these crises with and without this wearable cognitive aid.
