Simulation Training to Improve 911 Dispatcher Identification of Cardiac Arrest
A study testing Telephone simulation training in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by University of Washington.
Trial summary
This study is to test the use of simulation training to improve 9-1-1 telecommunicators' call processing and response. Training sessions will expose 9-1-1 telecommunicators to several realistic emergency situations through mock 9-1-1 calls with a trained actor playing the part of a reporting party, followed… Read more about this study

About this study
This study is to test the use of simulation training to improve 9-1-1 telecommunicators' call processing and response. Training sessions will expose 9-1-1 telecommunicators to several realistic emergency situations through mock 9-1-1 calls with a trained actor playing the part of a reporting party, followed immediately by feedback on call handling provided by a trained call observer. Investigators hypothesize that simulation followed by trained observer-directed feedback will increase correct triage of medical emergency and delivery of pre-arrival instructions during simulated calls and in actual 9-1-1 calls.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Telephone simulation trainingBehavioural
The intervention consists of four 20-minute telephone simulation training sessions over a 4 month period (one session each month). Each 20-minute training session will include 3 simulated 9-1-1 calls, performed by a standardized caller (trained actor) and feedback will be provided right away by a trained observer who takes notes during the simulation calls and discusses the teaching points after the session. In total, the 9-1-1 dispatchers will receive 12 different simulated calls.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control | No intervention | Participants randomized to the control arm receive no telephone simulation training. |
| Simulation Training | Experimental | Participants randomized to the intervention arm receive telephone simulation training. Receives: Behavioral: Telephone simulation training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in elapsed seconds from call answer to start of telephone-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) instructions in cardiac arrest calls in simulations and in actual calls.
Measured: Once monthly over 4 months (during simulations); at event (actual cardiac arrest 9-1-1 call) over 12 months.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change in proportion of calls with querying behaviors compliant with the "all-callers" interviewing protocol.
Measured: Once monthly over 4 months (during simulations); at event (actual cardiac arrest 9-1-1 call) over 12 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Telephone simulation training in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by University of Washington.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in elapsed seconds from call answer to start of telephone-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) instructions in cardiac arrest calls in simulations and in actual calls. (time frame: Once monthly over 4 months (during simulations); at event (actual cardiac arrest 9-1-1 call) over 12 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01972087, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Nov 2016.
