Effect of Visual Deprivation of the Team Leader on Team Performance During Simulated Medical Emergencies
LEADE ME: Effect of Visual Deprivation of the Team Leader on Team Performance During Simulated Medical Emergencies - A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study
Rennes University Hospital
54 participants
Feb 2, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This multicenter randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the impact of temporary visual deprivation of the medical team leader on non-technical skills and team performance during high-fidelity simulated medical emergencies. The intervention is based on principles of crisis resource management and cognitive load theory. Team performance will be assessed using validated scoring tools immediately after the intervention and at three months follow-up.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria7
- The teams participating in the simulation sessions are composed as follows:
- A senior doctor identified as the "medical leader"
- An anaesthesia and intensive care intern
- A state-registered nurse anaesthetist
- Participants with at least two years' experience in the specialty.
- a. For interns, an additional requirement is that they must have completed a semester in intensive care.
- Recruited via simulation trainers at their respective hospitals or university hospitals.
Exclusion Criteria1
- The study cannot be carried out during a safety rest period (i.e. the day after being on call).
