Purpose
In Intensive Care Medicine, critical incidents are not rare and may result in fatal outcome. High fidelity patient simulators are commonly used in training curricula for healthcare professionals especially in anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and intensive care medicine. Several different course concepts have previously been published. As we know from recently published data, up to 80% of all critical incidents in the field of medicine are caused by human error. The authors of the present study aimed to investigate the effects of two different course concepts (one addressing technical skills in intensive care medicine and on addressing non-technical skills) on stress and performance. Stress and performance are measured in a pre-intervention and a post-intervention testing scenario.

|---|---|
|
1: Active Comparator
Classic one-day simulator training for intensivists.
|
Other: Medical simulator training
Contains seminars on airway management, general anesthesia, peri-arrest arrhythmias, and advanced life support. Furthermore, participants train in simulator scenarios. In the debriefing instructors discuss management of the critical incidents using videotapes of the scenarios.
|
|
2: Experimental
Crew resource management training
|
Other: Simulator based crew resource management course
Contains seminars on human error and non-technical skills. Furthermore, participants train in simulator scenarios. In the debriefing instructors discuss usage of non-technical skills as well as behaviour of the participants using videotapes of the scenarios.
