Clinical Trial Summary

Abstract

Background: Exchange transfusion is a highly complex procedure that requires high levels of expertise. Paediatricians trainees do not have adequate training because opportunities to perform this procedure in practice are scarce. This protocol seeks to compare two educational interventions for exchange transfusions that allow the students to develop competencies to perform the technique in an appropriate and safe way.

Methods/design: A randomized parallel single-blind clinical trial with allocation by simple randomization to the educational intervention (simulation or a digital didactic environment). Students from the paediatric specialization who volunteer to participate will be included. A practical evaluation of the procedure will be performed through a simulated scenario using a standardized clinical case. The main outcome is defined as the result of evaluation using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination; superior performance will be defined when the percentage is greater than or equal to 85%, and nonsuperior performance will be defined when the result is less than 84%. The chi-square independence test or the Fisher exact test will be used to evaluate the effect of the interventions. Multivariate analysis will be performed using a non-conditional logistic regression model. Stata 14 ® software will be used.

Discussion: Exchange transfusion is a procedure that requires expertise to achieve adequate outcomes. The inclusion of new educational strategies, such as simulation and digital didactic environments, is seen as a training option that can improve performance in clinical skills, reduce adverse events and increase the level of trust.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
Digital didactic environment
Students assigned to this group will receive access to a digital didactic environment where they will have at their disposal the exchange transfusion guide and a complete video explaining the indications, the preparation of supplies and the newborn for the procedure, the management of medical devices required and a step-by-step description of the exchange transfusion technique. Finally, the student will see an integrated clinical case. This video will be developed by the neonatology and paediatric medical education teaching team in the simulation laboratory of the university using neonatal high-fidelity simulators, a simulated mother and the necessary medical equipment and supplies.
• Simulated scenario
The educational intervention will be developed with the students, led by the neonatology teacher, in the simulation laboratory. For the training, neonatal high-fidelity simulators, clinical history and paraclinical exams, necessary supplies for the procedure, a simulated mother, a professional nurse and a nursing assistant will be available. Training will take place in individual skill stations (identification of indications, communication, management of medical devices and procedures) and in integrated clinical scenarios.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Overall result of the OSCE evaluation (checklist). The performance score will be the score obtained for the evaluation divided by the maximum possible score of the test and multiplied by 100. A superior performance is defined as a score greater than or equal to 85%, and a nonsuperior performance is defined as a score equal to or less than 84%. The checklist was applied by a reviewer blinded to the assignment of the type of intervention by reviewing the video, on average 4 week after of the participation of the groups in the scenarios
Secondary Performance on the OSCE checklist in sub-areas: Clinical History Clinical history and approach to patient risk and indication for exchange transfusion The checklist was applied by a reviewer blinded to the assignment of the type of intervention by reviewing the video, on average 4 week after of the participation of the groups in the scenarios
Secondary Performance on the OSCE checklist in sub-areas: assesment Comprehensive assessment of the patient with neonatal jaundice The checklist was applied by a reviewer blinded to the assignment of the type of intervention by reviewing the video, on average 4 week after of the participation of the groups in the scenarios
Secondary Performance on the OSCE checklist in sub-areas: exchange transfusion Management of the patient with neonatal jaundice and indication for exchange transfusion The checklist was applied by a reviewer blinded to the assignment of the type of intervention by reviewing the video, on average 4 week after of the participation of the groups in the scenarios
