Medical Residents Performance: Effect of Simulation-Based Training - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center
Information provided by:	St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00612131

Purpose

I Hypothesis:

Simulation-based training in maximal barrier precaution technique during central venous catheter (CVC) placement is superior to general videotape-based training
Baseline performance in maximal barrier precaution technique of PGY 2 and 3 Medical residents, certified in CVC placement, is poor
PGY 2 and 3 medical residents have low self-perceived confidence in mastering maximal barrier precaution technique during central venous catheter (CVC) placement; this is improved with simulation based training
PGY 2 and 3 medical residents undergoing simulation-based training in maximal barrier precaution technique during central venous catheter (CVC) placement have good recall after 3 months

Condition
Healthy

Study Type:	Observational
Study Design:	Cohort, Prospective
Official Title:	Medical Residents Performance in Maximum Barrier Precautions During Central Venous Catheter Placement: Effect of Simulation-Based Training
