ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT To the Editor, The role of collaborative team-building in health care is increasingly recognized as a

T

means to ensure that patient care is timely, coordinated, patient-centered, and cost-effective

RI P

[1]. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality developed TeamSTEPPS, which teaches team members how to communicate and cooperate effectively through systemic

SC

training to reduce the possibility of medical errors, improve the prognosis of patients, and the satisfaction of hospital staff [2]. In 2010, the American Heart Association published new

MA NU

cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines stating that Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) should include training in teamwork [3]. Predefined ACLS scenarios that focus on teamwork with a high-fidelity simulator provide an opportunity for promoting interprofessional

ED

collaboration and a more realistic environment than does traditional ACLS mega-code training [4]. Because this topic is not discussed in the literature, we compared physicians and

PT

nurses undergoing ACLS training using teamwork-based high-fidelity simulation. This study was done in a 1200-bed university-affiliated medical center in Tainan. The

CE

simulation training was in the clinical-skill training center at our hospital. Meti iStan was the

AC

high-fidelity simulator. From May 2011 through Aug 2011, we held 49 sessions of ACLS training with teamwork-based high-fidelity simulation. All of the participants had previously undergone traditional ACLS mega-code training. We designed a one-hour training course that was close to our clinical situation. The training included (i) a Practice team that consisted of 1-3 residents being trained and 3 nurses being trained, and (ii) an Observation team that consisted of four observers (two physicians with an ACLS instructor license and two senior nurses). One physician recorded every important step on white board during the training. The two senior nurses checked every important step in detail using checklists for the “head area” and “chest area”. The other physician was in charge of the scenario. After the training, the four observers jointly conducted the debriefing (Figure 1).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Before the scenario, we did the orientation and introduced the environment and equipment. The purpose of the orientation, which took between 10 and 15 minutes, was to

T

quickly get the new participants to the point where they understood the individual team roles

RI P

and skills well enough to function as team members rather than unaffiliated individuals. Then we let the practice team practice using the equipment and got permission to record their

SC

performance. The practice team faced four critical conditions: unstable paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia; asystole; pulseless ventricular tachycardia; and junctional

MA NU

bradycardia with shock. After the four scenarios, the training stopped, and the team was debriefed (Figure 1). The Observation team member who recorded the important points on the whiteboard led the debriefing, and the other three observers assisted. We discussed the

ED

facts, process, and procedure of resuscitation; and of teamwork and communication; and then we gave advice for this group and training session. After the training, all participants

PT

completed an anonymous evaluation of the program: participant background, learning, motivation, and satisfaction (Figure 1).

CE

All analyses were done using SPSS 16.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA).

Continuous data are presented as means ± SD. Comparisons between two groups were made using either an independent-samples t test (assuming normal distribution) or Mann-Whitney/Wilcoxon tests (assuming abnormal distribution) for the continuous variables. Either a 2 test or a Fisher's exact test was used for categorical variables. In total, 227 participants (87 physicians; 140 nurses) were enrolled for analysis; 1 participant was excluded because of insufficient data (Table 1). Both groups highly agreed that the learning and satisfaction were (nonsignificantly) better with teamwork-based high-fidelity simulation than with traditional ACLS mega-code training (Table 2). The topics best learned by physicians were when to use teamwork (94.3%); the technique of calling out (93.1%); and debriefing (92.0%), how to collaborate with other health professionals (92.0%),

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT and giving appropriate medical treatment (92.0%) (Table 2). The topics best learned by nurses were the technique of checking back (92.9%), how to collaborate with other health

T

professionals (92.1%), and determining the patient’s immediate clinical condition (91.4%)

RI P

(Table 2). Most participants were unit-assigned (69.9% vs. 65.4%, P = 0.635) (Table 3). Both groups had low motivation to participate in this training, especially the physicians (7.2% vs.

SC

24.3%, P = 0.001) (Table 3). Despite the high agreement about learning and satisfaction (Table 4), both groups had relatively low motivation to participate in similar training in the

MA NU

future (Table 2).

We found a high level of agreement between physicians and nurses that ACLS training with teamwork-based high-fidelity simulation was better and more efficacious than

ED

traditional ACLS mega-code training. We believe this training will improve patient care. Most of our participants were unit-assigned, not voluntary trainees, especially in the

PT

Physician group. In spite of their praise for the training, the members of both groups were relatively unmotivated in similar training activities in the future. This result may help us

AC

CE

redesign resuscitation training to make it more interesting and compelling.
