About this study

Official title: Resilience,Performance and Stress in Anaesthesia Professionals: a Simulation-based Observational Study

The aim of this study was to determine whether there was an association between resilience and the performance of student nurse anaesthetists in simulated critical situations.

Read the detailed description

This trial will take place at the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital. Volunteer nurse anaesthetists students will perform a simulation scenario. This scenario generates a high level of stress and focuses on the management of anaphylactic shock in the operating room, which is a good teaching tool for the participants.

The simulation is performed in a dedicated simulation room configured as an operating theatre. In this environment, a high-fidelity manikin is intubated and ventilated on an anaesthesia ventilator. The manikin is perfused. The anaesthesia cart is replicated with the same equipment and drugs as the anaesthesia carts in the operating theatre. A person playing the role of a nurse anaesthetist will conduct transmissions before leaving the room replaced by the participant. One person will play the role of the surgeon in the room. The simulation will take place as follows:

Briefing :

Welcome and explanation of the session. Collection of age, gender, number of years in anaesthesia, number of years as a nurse.

The simulation room, the mannequin and the anaesthesia trolley are presented by a simulation trainer before starting the scenario.

First evaluation of the acute stress perceived by the VAS stress(visual analogue stress scale) which triggers the beginning of the scenario.

The patient is introduced by the nurse anaesthetist present in the room and explanations are given on how to reach the anaesthetist by phone. Once the transmissions are completed, the preoperative checklist is carried out by the surgeon with the nurse anaesthetist and the student nurse anaesthetist who takes over. Once the checklist is completed the simulation timer is started and the nurse anaesthetist leaves the room leaving the patient alone on the anaesthesia side.

Scenario:

On arrival at the room:

→ Vitals on arrival: BP (blood pressure)= 100/50, HR(heart rate) = 60, Spo2 = 99%, EtC02 (end tidal C02) = 36 mmHg

T0: Surgical incision

→ Vitals at incision: BP = 120/70, HR = 70, SpO2 = 99%, EtCo2 = 39 mmHg

T1 = 3 min: BP = 90/55, HR = 95, SpO2 = 98%, EtCo2 = 34 mmHg

T2 = 6 min: BP = 78/45, HR = 110, SpO2 = 97%, EtCo2 = 30 mmHg, if possible: vary the SpO2 signal if possible

T3 = 9 min: BP = 65/32, HR = 130, SpO2 = no signal, EtCO2 = 28 mmHg

T4 = 12 min: BP = 56/28, HR = 150, SpO2 = no signal, EtCO2 = 25 mmHg

If no communication with the surgical team before T3, the facilitating surgeon mentions a skin rash to guide management.

The study stops at 12 minutes when the anaesthetist enters the operating room.

Debriefing: The debriefing is conducted by a simulation trainer accordance with the guidelines of the French Society of Health Simulation.

The main objective of this study is to investigate an association between the level of resilience of student nurse anaesthetists and their performance (Performance score N°1) under stress.

The secondary objectives of this study are to investigate the correlation between :

  • Performance score N°2 (without taking into account the notion of time in scale N°1) and resilience by ConnorDavison Resilience scale (CDRISC 10).
  • Work experience and performance score 1
  • Years of specialisation in anesthesia and Performance score 1
  • Age and performance score 1

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Resilience

    Measurement of resilience by Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD RISC 10 from 0 to 40) in participants. A high score indicates better resilience.

    Measured: at Day 0 : 10 minutes before simulation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Performance score 1

    Performance scale with 15 items based on the recommendations for the management of anaphylactic shock by the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care. The time taken to perform the procedure is noted and influences the score. The final score ranges from 0 to 60 points. A higher score indicates a higher performance.

    Measured: at Day 0 during the simulation between T: 0 minute (begin simulation) and T:12 minutes (end of simulation) (during of simulation is 12 minutes))

  2. Performance score 2

    Performance scale with 15 items based on the recommendations for the management of anaphylactic shock by the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care. The final score ranges from 0 to 15 points. A higher score indicates a higher performance.

    Measured: at D0 during the simulation between T: 0 minute (begin simulation) and T:12 minutes (end of simulation) (during of simulation is 12 minutes)

  3. Age of anaesthesia professionals

    Age of anesthesia professionals: (quantitative variable)

    Measured: at Day 0 : 10 minutes before simulation

  4. work experience

    number of years since first nursing practice (quantitative variable)

    Measured: at Day 0 : 10 minutes before simulation

  5. year of specialisation

    Year of specialisation : first year or second year(qualitative variable)

    Measured: at Day 0 : 10 minutes before simulation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Resilience and Stress, Psychological, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 1 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 5 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Resilience (time frame: at Day 0 : 10 minutes before simulation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Dec 2023.
