The evaluation of video-assisted debriefing for improving performance in simulated medical student resuscitations. AEM EDUCATION AND TRAINING 2024; 8:e11029. [PMID: 39398865 PMCID: PMC11465287 DOI: 10.1002/aet2.11029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2024] [Revised: 09/10/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024]
Abstract
Objectives Simulation-based training is commonly used in medical education. However, there is a gap in knowledge regarding best practices in debriefing. We aimed to identify novel solutions to this by adapting video-assisted debriefing (VAD) methodologies used in athletic training. We hypothesized that utilizing VAD would lead to improvements in performance during advanced cardiac life support (ACLS)-based simulations compared to traditional verbal debriefing (VD). Methods The study was conducted at a single medical school. Participants were fourth-year medical students engaging in ACLS simulation-based training as part of their emergency medicine rotation. After completing an ACLS-based simulation, participants received either VD or VAD and then completed a second simulation scenario. Our primary outcome was ACLS performance, graded by blinded reviewers utilizing a previously developed modified checklist. Secondary outcomes included time from cardiac arrest to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first defibrillation. Measurements were made before and after the interventional debrief, referred to as pre- and postdebrief. A modified Likert-scale survey was used to subjectively assess the student's overall experience. Results Forty-six groups of 275 students were included in the study. Mean ACLS performance score for VD and VAD postdebrief were 85% and 82%, respectively (p = 0.27). Mean time from arrest to CPR initiation for VD and VAD postdebrief groups were 20 and 24 s, respectively (p = 0.46). Mean time from arrest to defibrillation for VD and VAD postdebrief groups were 50 and 59 s, respectively (p = 0.39). For the Likert surveys, 85% or more of participants in both groups indicated that the session was "very helpful" in all survey categories. Conclusions VD and VAD both led to improvements in ACLS performance, time to initiation of CPR, and defibrillation among fourth-year medical students. Though postdebrief results were not statistically significantly different by comparison, overall VD led to greater improvement overall across all outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hot debriefings are communications among team members occurring shortly after an event. They have been shown to improve team performance and communication. Best practice guidelines encourage hot debriefings, but these are often not routinely performed. We aim to describe the development and implementation of a multidisciplinary hot debriefing process in our pediatric emergency department (ED), and its impact on hot debriefing completion and provider perceptions. METHODS An internal tool and protocol for hot debriefings were developed by integrating responses from a survey of those who work in the ED at our institution and previously published debriefing tools. Charge nurses and pediatric emergency medicine physicians were trained to lead hot debriefings. Surveys on the perception of hot debriefings were administered before and 6 months postimplementation.Twelve-month baseline data were established by asking physicians who cared for patients who died in the ED or within 48 hours of admission to recall debrief completion. Debriefs were then prospectively tracked for 6 months postimplementation. RESULTS Debrief completion for patient deaths in the ED or within 48 hours of admission increased from 23% (5/22) to 75% (12/16) ( P < 0.001). When assessing just those deaths within the ED, this number increased from 31% (5/16) to 85% (11/13) ( P < 0.001).There were 98 responses to a baseline survey (response rate, 60.5%). Most who were surveyed felt that debriefs rarely occurred, preferred hot debriefings to cold debriefings, and felt that more hot debriefings should occur. Perceived barriers included lack of time, interest, protocol, trained facilitators, departmental support, and inability to gather the team.There were 88 responses to a postintervention survey (response rate, 56.8%), 50 of which had participated in a debrief and were included in analysis. Those surveyed felt that debriefs occurred more often and were more often valuable. Most perceived that barriers were significantly reduced. Most respondents felt that hot debriefs helped address systems issues and improved performance. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of a protocol for physician or charge nurse-led hot debriefings in our pediatric ED resulted in increased completion, perceived barrier reduction, and a uniform approach to address identified issues. Pediatric EDs should consider adoption of a hot debriefing protocol given these benefits.

Team performance during vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery: video review of obstetric multidisciplinary teams. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1330457. [PMID: 38572162 PMCID: PMC10987771 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1330457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Vacuum extraction is generally considered an operator-dependent task, with most attention directed toward the obstetrician's technical abilities (1-3). Little is known about the effect of the team and non-technical skills on clinical outcomes in vacuum-assisted delivery. This study aimed to investigate whether the non-technical skills of obstetricians were correlated with their level of clinical performance via the analysis of video recordings of teams conducting actual vacuum extractions. Methods We installed between two or three video cameras in each delivery room at Aarhus University Hospital and Horsens Regional Hospital and obtained 60 videos of teams managing vacuum extraction. Appropriate consent was obtained. Two raters carefully reviewed the videos and assessed the teams' non-technical skills using the Assessment of Obstetric Team Performance (AOTP) checklist, rating all items on a Likert scale score from 1 to 5 (1 = poor; 3 = average; and 5 = excellent). This resulted in a total score ranging from 18 to 90. Two different raters independently assessed the teams' clinical performance (adherence to clinical guidelines) using the TeamOBS-Vacuum-Assisted Delivery (VAD) checklist, rating each item (0 = not done, 1 = done incorrectly; and 2 = done correctly). This resulted in a total score with the following ranges (low clinical performance: 0-59; average: 60-84; and high: 85-100). Interrater agreement was analyzed using intraclass correlation (ICC), and the risk of high or low clinical performance was analyzed on a logit scale to meet the assumption of normality. Results Teams that received excellent non-technical scores had an 81% probability of achieving high clinical performance, whereas this probability was only 12% among teams with average non-technical scores (p < 0.001). Teams with a high clinical performance often had excellent behavior in the non-technical items of "team interaction," "anticipation," "avoidance fixation," and "focused communication." Teams with a low or average clinical performance often neglected to consider analgesia, had delayed abandonment of the attempted vaginal delivery and insufficient use of appropriate fetal monitoring. Interrater reliability was high for both rater-teams, with an ICC for the non-technical skills of 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71-0.88) and 0.84 for the clinical performance (95% CI: 0.74-0.90). Conclusion Although assisted vaginal delivery by vacuum extraction is generally considered to be an operator-dependent task, our findings suggest that teamwork and effective team interaction play crucial roles in achieving high clinical performance. Teamwork helped the consultant anticipate the next step, avoid fixation, ensure adequate analgesia, and maintain thorough fetal monitoring during delivery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pediatric out of hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA) is rare, with high mortality and neurological morbidity. Adherence to Pediatric Advanced Life Support guidelines standardizes in-hospital care and improves outcomes. We hypothesized that in-hospital care of POHCA patients was variable and deviations from guidelines were associated with higher mortality. METHODS POHCA patients in the London-Middlesex region between January 2012 and June 2020 were included. The care of children with ongoing arrest (intra-arrest) and post-arrest outcomes were reviewed using the Children's Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) patient database and the Adverse Event Management System. RESULTS 50 POHCA patients arrived to hospital, with 15 (30%) patients admitted and 2 (4.0%) surviving to discharge, both with poor neurological outcomes and no improvement at 90 days. Deviations occurred at every event with intra-arrest care deviations occurring mostly in medication delivery and defibrillation (98%). Post-arrest deviations occurred mostly in temperature monitoring (60%). Data missingness was 15.9% in the intra-arrest and 1.7% in the post-arrest group. DISCUSSION Deviations commonly occurred in both in-hospital arrest and post-arrest care. The study was under-powered to identify associations between DEVs and outcomes. Future work includes addressing specific deviations in intra-arrest and post-arrest care of POHCA patients and standardizing electronic documentation.

Abstract
Background Swift recognition of cardiac arrest is required for survival, however failure to recognize (and delayed response) is common. Studying online cardiac arrest videos may aid recognition, however the ethical implications of this are unknown. We examined their use from the perspective of persons with lived experience of cardiac arrest, seeking to understand the experience of having one's cardiac arrest recorded and available online. Methods We gathered qualitative data using focused interviews of persons affected by cardiac arrest. Inductive thematic analysis was performed, as well as a deductive ethical analysis. Co-researcher survivors and co-survivors were involved in all stages of this project. Findings We identified themes of 'shock, hurt and helplessness' and 'surreality and reality' to describe the experience of having one's (or a family member's) cardiac arrest captured and distributed online. Participants provided guidance on the use of online videos for education and research, emphasising beneficence, autonomy, non-maleficence, and justice. Conclusions Finding one's own, or a family member's cardiac arrest video online is shocking and potentially harmful for families. If ethical principles are followed however, there may be acceptable procedures for the use of online videos of cardiac arrest for education or research purposes. The careful use of online videos of cardiac arrest for education and research may help improve recognition and response, though additional research is required to confirm or refute this claim.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Video-assisted debriefing (VAD) of real-life obstetrical emergencies provides an opportunity to improve quality of care, but is rarely used in clinical practice. A barrier for implementation is the expected mental reservations among healthcare providers. The aim of this study was to explore healthcare providers' perceptions and expectations of VAD of real-life events. SETTING Participants were recruited from two Labour and Delivery Units in Denmark. In both units, VAD of real-life obstetrical emergencies had never been conducted. PARTICIPANTS 22 healthcare providers (10 physicians, 9 midwives and 3 nursing assistants). During the study period (August-October 2021), semi-structured, individual interviews were conducted. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES A qualitative description of healthcare providers' perceptions and expectations of VAD of real-life events. RESULTS Three major themes were identified: (1) Video-assisted debriefing (VAD) as an opportunity for learning: All participants expected VAD to provide an opportunity for learning and improving patient care. All participants expected the video to provide a 'bigger picture', by showing 'what was actually done' instead of 'what we believed was done'. (2) Video-assisted debriefing (VAD) as a cause for concern: The primary concern for all participants was the risk of being exposed as less competent. Participants were concerned that being confronted with every minor detail of their clinical practice would enhance their self-criticalness. (3) Preconditions for video-assisted debriefing (VAD): Participants emphasised the importance of organisational support from management. In addition, creating a safe environment for VAD, for example, by using only expert debriefers was considered an essential precondition for successful implementation. CONCLUSIONS The risk of being exposed as less competent was a barrier towards VAD of real-life events. However, the majority found the educational benefits to outweigh the risk of being exposed.

Abstract
Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills may decay over time after conventional instructor-led BLS training. The Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI®) program, unlike a conventional basic life support (BLS) course, is implemented through mastery learning and low-dose, high-frequency training strategies to improve CPR competence. We facilitated the RQI program to compare the performance of novices vs those with previous BLS training experience before RQI implementation and to obtain their confidence and attitude of the RQI program. Methods A single-center observational study was conducted from May 9, 2021 to June 25, 2021 in an emergency department of a tertiary hospital. The performance assessment data of both trainees with a previous training experience in conventional BLS course (BLS group) and the novice ones with no prior experience with any BLS training (Non-BLS group) was collected by RQI cart and other outcome variables were rated by online questionnaire. Outcome measurements included chest compression and ventilation in both adult-sized and infant-sized manikins. Results A total of 149 participants were enrolled. Among them, 103 participants were in BLS group and 46 participants in Non-BLS group. Post RQI training, all the trainees achieved a passing score of 75 or more, and obtained an improvement in CPR performance. The number of attempts to pass RQI for compression and ventilation practice was lower in the BLS group in both adult and infant training sessions (P < 0.05). Although the BLS group had a poor baseline, it had fewer trials and the same learning outcomes, and the BLS group had better self-confidence. Trainees were well adapted to the innovative training modality, and satisfaction among all of the participants was high. Only the respondents for non-instructor led training, the satisfaction was low in both groups (72.8% in BLS group vs 65.2% in No-BLS group, strongly agreed). Conclusion Among novices, RQI can provide excellent CPR core skills performance. But for those who had previous BLS training experience, it was able to enhance the efficiency of the skills training with less time consumption. Most trainees obtained good confidence and satisfaction with RQI program, which might be an option for the broad prevalence of BLS training in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The facilitated discussion of events through clinical event debriefing (CED) can promote learning and wellbeing, but resident involvement is often limited. Although the graduate medical education field supports CED, interventions to promote resident involvement are limited by poor insight into how residents experience CED. The objective of this study was to characterize pediatric resident experiences with CED, with a specific focus on practice barriers and facilitators. METHODS We conducted this qualitative study between November and December 2020 at a large, free-standing children's hospital. We recruited pediatric residents from postgraduate years 1 to 4 to participate in virtual focus groups. Focus groups were digitally recorded, deidentified, and transcribed. Transcripts were entered into coding software for analysis. We analyzed the data using a modified grounded theory approach to identify major themes. RESULTS We conducted 4 mixed-level focus groups with 26 residents. Our analysis identified multiple barriers and facilitators of resident involvement in CED. Several barriers were logistical in nature, but the most salient barriers were derived from unique features of the resident role. For example, residents described the transience of their role as a barrier to both participating and engaging in CED. However, they described advancing professional experience and the desire for reflective learning as facilitators. CONCLUSIONS Residents in this study highlighted many factors affecting their participation and engagement in CED, including barriers related to the unique features of their role. On the basis of resident experiences, we propose several recommendations for CED practice that graduate medical education programs and hospitals should consider for supporting resident involvement in CED.

Abstract
Objective To design an innovative team-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) educational plan for multiple bystanders and evaluate whether it was associated with better teamwork and higher quality of resuscitation. Methods The team-based CPR plan defined the process for a three-person team, emphasize task allocation, leadership, and closed-loop communication. Participants qualified for single-rescuer CPR skills were randomized into teams of 3. The teamwork performance and CPR operation skills were evaluated in one simulated cardiac arrest scenario before and after training on the team-based CPR plan. The primary outcomes were measured by the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) scale and chest compression fraction (CCF). Results Forty-three teams were included in the analysis. The team-based CPR plan significantly improved the team performance (global rating 6.7 ± 1.3 vs. 9.0 ± 0.7, corrected p < 0.001 after Bonferroni's correction). After implementing the team-based CPR plan, CCF increased [median 59 (IQR 48–69) vs. 64 (IQR 57–71%)%, corrected p = 0.002], while hands-off time decreased [median 233.2 (IQR 181.0–264.0) vs. 207 (IQR 174–222.9) s, corrected p = 0.02]. We found the average compression depth was significantly improved through the team-based CPR training [median 5.1 (IQR 4.7–5.6) vs. 5.3 (IQR 4.9–5.5) cm, p = 0.03] but no more significantly after applying the Bonferroni's correction (corrected p = 0.35). The compression depths were significantly improved by collaborating and exchanging the role of compression among the participants after the 6th min. Conclusion The team-based CPR plan is feasible for improving bystanders teamwork performance and effective for improving resuscitation quality in prearrival care. We suggest a wide application of the team-based CPR plan in the educational program for better resuscitation performance in real rescue events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinical event debriefing (CED) can improve patient care and outcomes, but little is known about CED across inpatient settings, and participant experiences have not been well described. In this qualitative study, we sought to characterize and compare staff experiences with CED in 2 hospital units, with a goal of generating recommendations for a hospital-wide debriefing program. METHODS We conducted 32 semistructured interviews with clinical staff who attended a CED in the previous week. We explored experiences with CED, with a focus on barriers and facilitators. We used content analysis with constant comparative coding to understand priorities identified by participants. We used inductive reasoning to develop a set of CED practice recommendations to match participant priorities. RESULTS Three primary themes emerged related to CED barriers and facilitators. (1) Factors affecting attendance: most respondents voiced a need for frontline staff inclusion in CED, but they also cited competing clinical duties and scheduling conflicts as barriers. (2) Factors affecting participant engagement: respondents described factors that influence participant engagement in reflective discussion. They described that the CED leader must cultivate a psychologically safe environment in which participants feel empowered to speak up, free from judgment. (3) Factors affecting learning and systems improvement: respondents emphasized that the CED group should generate a plan for improvement with accountable stakeholders. Collectively, these priorities propose several recommendations for CED practice, including frontline staff inclusion. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we propose recommendations for CED that are derived from first-hand participant experiences. Future study will explore implementation of CED practice recommendations.

Video case review for quality improvement during cardiac arrest resuscitation in the emergency department. Int J Clin Pract 2021; 75:e14525.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are a leading global cause of mortality. The American Heart Association (AHA) promotes several important strategies associated with improved cardiac arrest (CA) outcomes, including decreasing pulse check time and maintaining a chest compression fraction (CCF) > 0.80. Video review is a potential tool to improve skills and analyse deficiencies in various situations; however, its use in improving medical resuscitation remains poorly studied in the emergency department (ED). We implemented a quality improvement initiative, which utilised video review of CA resuscitations in an effort to improve compliance with such AHA quality metrics. METHODS A cardiopulmonary resuscitation video review team of emergency medicine residents were assembled to analyse CA resuscitations in our urban academic ED. Videos were reviewed by two residents, one of whom was a senior resident (Postgraduate Year 3 or 4), and analysed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for numerous quality improvement metrics, including pulse check time, CCF, time to intravenous access and time to patient attached to monitor. RESULTS We collected data on 94 CA resuscitations between July 2017 and June 2020. Average pulse check time was 13.09 (SD ± 5.97) seconds, and 38% of pulse checks were <10 seconds. After the implementation of the video review process, there was a significant decrease in average pulse check time (P = .01) and a significant increase in CCF (P = .01) throughout the study period. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that the video review and feedback process was significantly associated with improvements in AHA quality metrics for resuscitation in CA amongst patients presented to the ED.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A great deal of literature has recently discussed the evaluation and management of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) patient in the emergency department (ED) setting, but there remains a dearth of literature providing guidance on cardiac arrest management in this population. OBJECTIVE This narrative review outlines the underlying pathophysiology of patients with COVID-19 and discusses approaches to cardiac arrest management in the ED based on the current literature as well as extrapolations from experience with other pathogens. DISCUSSION Patients with COVID-19 may experience cardiovascular manifestations that place them at risk for acute myocardial injury, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest. The mortality for these critically ill patients is high and increases with age and comorbidities. While providing resuscitative interventions and performing procedures on these patients, healthcare providers must adhere to strict infection control measures and prioritize their own safety through the appropriate use of personal protective equipment. A novel approach must be implemented in combination with national guidelines. The changes in these guidelines emphasize early placement of an advanced airway to limit nosocomial viral transmission and encourage healthcare providers to determine the effectiveness of their efforts prior to placing staff at risk for exposure. CONCLUSIONS While treatment priorities and goals are identical to pre-pandemic approaches, the management of COVID-19 patients in cardiac arrest has distinct differences from cardiac arrest patients without COVID-19. We provide a review of the current literature on the changes in cardiac arrest management as well as details outlining team composition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High peak pressures delivered via bag valve mask (BVM) can be dangerous for patients. OBJECTIVE To examine manual ventilation performance among respiratory therapists (RTs) in a simulation model. METHODS Respiratory therapists (n=98) were instructed to ventilate a manikin for 18 breaths. Linear regression was utilized to determine associated predictors with the outcomes: delivered tidal volume, pressure and flow rate. RESULTS Among all participants, the mean ventilation parameters include a tidal volume of 599.70 ml, peak pressure of 26.35 cmH2O, and flow rate of 77.20 l/min. Higher confidence values were positively associated with delivered peak pressure (p=0.01) and flow rate (p=0.008). Those with the most confidence in using the BVM actually delivered higher peak pressures and flow rates compared to those with lower confidence levels. CONCLUSIONS Our results emphasize the urgent need to create an intervention that allows providers to deliver safe and optimal manual ventilation.

Abstract
Background Over 6000 children have an in‐hospital cardiac arrest in the United States annually. Most will not survive to discharge, with significant variability in survival across hospitals suggesting improvement in resuscitation performance can save lives. Methods and Results A prospective observational study of quality of chest compressions (CC) during pediatric in‐hospital cardiac arrest associated with development and implementation of a resuscitation quality bundle. Objectives were to: 1) implement a debriefing program, 2) identify impediments to delivering high quality CC, 3) develop a resuscitation quality bundle, and 4) measure the impact of the resuscitation quality bundle on compliance with American Heart Association (AHA) Pediatric Advanced Life Support CC guidelines over time. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between compliance and year of event, adjusting for age and weight. Over 3 years, 317 consecutive cardiac arrests were debriefed, 38% (119/317) had CC data captured via defibrillator‐based accelerometer pads, data capture increasing over time: (2013:13% [12/92] versus 2014:43% [44/102] versus 2015:51% [63/123], P<0.001). There were 2135 1‐minute cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) epoch data available for analysis, (2013:152 versus 2014:922 versus 2015:1061, P<0.001). Performance mitigating themes were identified and evolved into the resuscitation quality bundle entitled CPR Coaching, Objective‐Data Evaluation, Action‐linked‐phrases, Choreography, Ergonomics, Structured debriefing and Simulation (CODE ACES2). The adjusted marginal probability of a CC epoch meeting the criteria for excellent CPR (compliant for rate, depth, and chest compression fraction) in 2015, after CPR Coaching, Objective‐Data Evaluation, Action‐linked‐phrases, Choreography, Ergonomics, Structured debriefing and Simulation was developed and implemented, was 44.3% (35.3–53.3) versus 19.9%(6.9–32.9) in 2013; (odds ratio 3.2 [95% confidence interval:1.3–8.1], P=0.01). Conclusions CODE ACES2 was associated with progressively increased compliance with AHA CPR guidelines during in‐hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Background In recent years, it has become increasingly prevalent internationally to record and archive digital recordings of endoscopic procedures. This emerging documentation tool raises weighty educational, ethical and legal issues – which are viewed as both deterrents and incentives to its adoption. We conducted a survey study aimed at evaluating the use of DRD in endoscopic procedures, to examine physicians’ support of this practice and to map the considerations weighed by physicians when deciding whether or not to support a more extensive use of DRD. Methods Israeli physicians from specialties that employ endoscopic technics were surveyed anonymously for demographic background, existence and use of recording equipment, existence of institutional guidelines regarding DRD, and self-ranking (on a scale from 1 to 7) of personal attitudes regarding DRD. Results 322 physicians were surveyed. 84% reported performing routine endoscopic procedures, 78% had the required equipment for digital recording, and 64% of them stated that they never or only rarely actually recorded the procedure. General surgeons had the second highest rate of DRD equipment (96.5%) but the lowest rates of DRD practice (17.5%). The average ranking of support of DRD by all participants was 5.07 ± 1.9, indicating a moderately high level of support. Significant positive correlation exists between actual DRD rates and average support of DRD (p < 0.001). Based on mediation models, for all specialties and with no exceptions, having routine recording guidelines and positive support of DRD were found to increase the probability of actual recording. Being a surgeon or an urologist negatively correlated with support of DRD, and decreased actual recording rates. The argument “Recording might cause more lawsuits” was ranked significantly higher than all other arguments against DRD (p < 0.001), and “Recording could aid teaching of interns” was ranked higher than all other arguments in favor of DRD (p < 0.001). Conclusions While DRD facilities and equipment are fairly widespread in Israel, the actual recording rate is generally low and varies among specialties. Having institutional guidelines requiring routine recording and a positive personal support of DRD correlated with actual DRD rates, with general surgeons being markedly less supportive of DRD and having the lowest actual recording rates. Physicians in all specialties were very much concerned about DRD’s potential to enhance lawsuits, and this greatly influenced their use of DRD. These findings should be addressed by educational efforts, centering on professionals from reluctant specialties, as well as by the issuing of both professional and institutional guidelines endorsing DRD as well as requiring it where applicable.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Witnessing traumatic experiences can cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The true impact on healthcare staff of attending in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCAs) has not been studied. This cross-sectional study examined cardiac arrest debriefing practices and the burden of attending IHCAs on nursing and medical staff. METHODS A 33-item questionnaire-survey was sent to 517 doctors (of all grades), nurses and health-care assistants (HCAs) working in the emergency department, the acute medical unit and the intensive care unit of a district general hospital between April and August 2018. There were three sections: demographics; cardiac arrest and debriefing practices; trauma-screening questionnaire (TSQ). RESULTS The response rate was 414/517 (80.1%); 312/414 (75.4%) were involved with IHCAs. Out of 1463 arrests, 258 (17.6%) were debriefed. Twenty-nine of 302 (9.6%) staff screened positively for PTSD. Healthcare assistants and Foundation Year 1 doctors had higher TSQ scores than nurses or more senior doctors (p = 0.02, p = 0.02, respectively). Debriefing was not associated with PTSD risk (p = 0.98). Only 8/67 (11.9%) of resuscitation leaders had prior debriefing training. CONCLUSIONS Nearly 10% of acute care staff screened positively for PTSD as a result of attending an IHCA, with junior staff being most at risk of developing trauma symptoms. Very few debriefs occurred, possibly because of a lack of debrief training amongst cardiac arrest team leaders. More support is required for acute care nursing and medical staff following an IHCA.

Abstract
The acquisition of competencies in basic life support (BLS) among university students of health sciences requires specific and updated training; therefore, the aim of this review was to identify, evaluate, and synthesise the available scientific knowledge on the effect of training in cardiorespiratory resuscitation in this population. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, CUIDEN, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, CINAHL, and Cochrane, including all randomised clinical trials published in the last ten years that evaluated basic life support training methods among these students. We selected a total of 11 randomissed clinical trials that met the inclusion criteria. Participants were nursing and medicine students who received theoretical and practical training in basic life support. The studies showed a great heterogeneity in training methods and evaluators, as did the feedback devices used in the practical evaluations and in the measurement of quality of cardiorespiratory resuscitation. In spite of the variety of information resulting from the training methods in basic life support, we conclude that mannequins with voice-guided feedback proved to be more effective than the other resources analysed for learning.

Abstract
A majority of babies initiate spontaneous respirations shortly after birth. Up to 10%, however, require resuscitative measures to make the transition from fetus to newborn. Ideally, the need for resuscitation at birth would be predicted before delivery, and a skilled neonatal resuscitation team would be available and ready. This is not always possible. Therefore, neonatal resuscitation teams must be prepared to provide lifesaving resuscitation at every delivery. In this report, we examine risk factors for resuscitation at birth, discuss the importance of communication between obstetric and newborn teams, review key questions to ask before delivery, and investigate antenatal counseling methods. We also investigate ways to prepare for newborn deliveries, including personnel and equipment preparation, and pre-delivery team briefing. Finally, we explore ways in which neonatal resuscitation teams can improve their preparedness through the use of simulation and post-resuscitation debriefing. This report will help neonatal resuscitation teams to anticipate and prepare for every delivery room resuscitation.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to increase detection of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) events and collection of physiologic and performance data for use in quality improvement (QI) efforts. Materials and Methods We developed a workflow-driven surveillance system that leveraged organizational information technology systems to trigger CPR detection and analysis processes. We characterized detection by notification source, type, location, and year, and compared it to previous methods of detection. Results From 1/1/2013 through 12/31/2015, there were 2,986 unique notifications associated with 2,145 events, 317 requiring CPR. PICU and PEDS-ED accounted for 65% of CPR events, whereas floor care areas were responsible for only 3% of events. 100% of PEDS-OR and >70% of PICU CPR events would not have been included in QI efforts. Performance data from both defibrillator and bedside monitor increased annually. (2013: 1%; 2014: 18%; 2015: 27%). Discussion After deployment of this system, detection has increased ∼9-fold and performance data collection increased annually. Had the system not been deployed, 100% of PEDS-OR and 50–70% of PICU, NICU, and PEDS-ED events would have been missed. Conclusion By leveraging hospital information technology and medical device data, identification of pediatric cardiac arrest with an associated increased capture in the proportion of objective performance data is possible.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the quality of simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in local pre-hospital care teams and the improvement achieved by using clinical pathways. Methods A prospective observation study. The 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR, the personnel characteristics of ambulance staff, China's legal system requirements, and the available medical resources were used to design a clinical pathway for pre-hospital care of cardiac arrest. Case simulations were used to evaluate the quality of CPR before and after implementation of the clinical pathway. Results The number of teams which successfully implemented electrocardiogram monitoring, endotracheal intubation and intravenous access before training were 8 (17.8%), 5 (11.1%) and 6 (13.3%) respectively. These increased to 45 (100%), 43 (95.6%) and 43 (95.6%), respectively, after training. The number of teams with successful implementation of artificial ventilation, airway management and insertion of oropharyngeal airway before training were 43 (95.6%), 38 (84.4%) and 12 (26.7%) respectively. These increased to 45 (100%), 42 (93.3%) and 43 (95.6%), respectively, after training. Nine (20%) teams decided CPR onsite before training and 35 (77.8%) after training. The average rate of chest compressions before and after training was 120.3 ± 17.9 and 123.2 ± 17.1 compressions per minute, respectively (p>0.05). Conclusion Training using established clinical pathway significantly improves the quality of CPR and increases the use of ALS techniques. CPR training requires ongoing validation and optimisation to maintain effectiveness. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2015;22:14-22)

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of video in healthcare is becoming more common, particularly in simulation and educational settings. However, video recording live episodes of clinical care is far less routine. AIM To provide a practical guide for clinical services to embed live video recording. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using Kotter's 8-step process for leading change, we provide a 'how to' guide to navigate the challenges required to implement a continuous video-audit system based on our experience of video recording in our emergency department resuscitation rooms. RESULTS The most significant hurdles in installing continuous video audit in a busy clinical area involve change management rather than equipment. Clinicians are faced with considerable ethical, legal and data protection challenges which are the primary barriers for services that pursue video recording of patient care. DISCUSSION Existing accounts of video use rarely acknowledge the organisational and cultural dimensions that are key to the success of establishing a video system. This article outlines core implementation issues that need to be addressed if video is to become part of routine care delivery. CONCLUSION By focussing on issues such as staff acceptability, departmental culture and organisational readiness, we provide a roadmap that can be pragmatically adapted by all clinical environments, locally and internationally, that seek to utilise video recording as an approach to improving clinical care.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Guideline committees recommend postresuscitation debriefings to improve performance. "Hot" postresuscitation debriefings occur immediately after the event and rely on team recall. We assessed the ability of resuscitation teams to recall their performance in team-based, hot debriefings in a pediatric emergency department (ED), using video review as the criterion standard. We hypothesized that debriefing accuracy will improve during the course of the study. METHODS Resuscitation physician and nurse leaders cofacilitated debriefings after ED resuscitations involving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or intubation. Debriefing teams recorded their self-assessments of clinical performance measures with standardized debriefing forms. The debriefing form data were compared with actual performance measured by video review at 2 pediatric EDs over 22 months. CPR performance measures included time to automated external defibrillator pad placement, epinephrine administration timing, and compression pause timing. Intubation measures included occurrences of oxygen desaturation, number of intubation attempts, and use of end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring. RESULTS We analyzed 100 resuscitations (14 cardiac arrests, 22 cardiac arrests with intubation, and 64 intubations). The accuracy of debriefing answers was 87%, increasing from 83% to 91% between the first and second halves of the study period (7.7% difference; 95% confidence interval 0.2% to 15%). Debriefings that acknowledged an error in certain performance measures (ie, automated external defibrillator pad placement delay, multiple intubation attempts, and occurrence of oxygen desaturation) had significantly worse performance in those specific measures on video review. CONCLUSION Teams in postresuscitation debriefings had a higher degree of debriefing answer accuracy in the final 50 debriefings than in the first 50. Teams also distinguished various degrees of resuscitation performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of cardiac arrest educational debriefing has been associated with improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality and patient outcome. The practical challenges associated with delivering some debriefing approaches may not be generalisable to the UK health setting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the deliverability and effectiveness of three cardiac arrest debriefing approaches that were tailored to UK working practice. METHODS We undertook a before/after study at three hospital sites. During the post-intervention period of the study, three cardiac arrest educational debriefing models were implemented at study hospitals (one model per hospital). To evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions, CPR quality and patient outcome data were collected from consecutive adult cardiac arrest events attended by the hospital cardiac arrest team. The primary outcome was chest compression depth. RESULTS Between November 2011 and July 2014, 1198 cardiac arrest events were eligible for study inclusion (782 pre-intervention; 416 post-intervention). The quality of CPR was high at baseline. During the post-intervention period, cardiac arrest debriefing interventions were delivered to 191 clinicians on 344 occasions. Debriefing interventions were deliverable in practice, but were not associated with a clinically important improvement in CPR quality. The interventions had no effect on patient outcome. CONCLUSION The delivery of these cardiac arrest educational debriefing strategies was feasible, but did not have a large effect on CPR quality. This may be attributable to the high-quality of CPR being delivered in study hospitals at baseline. TRIAL REGISTRATION ISRCTN39758339.

Abstract
Post-event debriefings are a foundational behavior of high performing teams. Despite the inherent value of post-event debriefings, the frequency with which they are used in neonatal care is extremely low. If post-event debriefings are so beneficial, why aren't they conducted more frequently? The reasons are many, but solutions are available. In this report, we provide practical advice on conducting post-event debriefing in neonatal care. In addition, we examine the perceived barriers to conducting post-event debriefings, and offer strategies to overcome them. Finally, we consider opportunities to foster a culture change within neonatal care which integrates debriefing as standard daily work. By establishing a safety culture in neonatal care that encourages and facilitates effective post-event debriefings, patient safety can be enhanced and clinical outcomes can be improved.

Abstract
Objectives To compare cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality between manual CPR and miniaturized chest compressor (MCC) CPR. To improve CPR quality through evaluating the quality of our clinical work of resuscitation by real-time video recording system. Methods The study was a retrospective observational study of adult patients who experienced CPR at the emergency department of Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital from March 2013 to August 2014. All the performance of CPR were checked back by the record of “digital real-time video recording system”. Average chest compression rate, actual chest compression rate, the percentage of hands-off period, time lag from patient arrival to chest compression, time lag from patient arrival to manual ventilation, time lag from patient arrival to first IV establish were compared. Causes of chest compression hands-off time were also studied. Results 112 cases of resuscitation attempts were obtained. Average chest compression rate was over 100 compression per minute (cpm) in the majority of cases. However, indicators such as percentage of hands-off periods, time lag from patient arrival to the first manual ventilation and time lag from patient arrival to the first IV establish seemed to be worse in the manual CPR group compared to MCC CPR group. The saving of operators change time seemed to counteract the time spent on MCC equipment. Indicators such as percentage of hands-off periods, time lag between patient arrival to the first chest compression, time lag between patient arrival to the first manual ventilation and time lag from patient arrival to the first IV establish may influence the survival. Conclusion Our CPR quality remained to be improved. MCC may have a potentially positive role in CPR.

Abstract
The change of compressing personnel will inevitably accompany hands off time when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed by two or more rescuers. The present study assessed whether changing compression by a second rescuer located on the opposite side (OS) of the first rescuer can reduce hands-off time compared to CPR on the same side (SS) when CPR is performed by two rescuers. The scenario of this randomized, controlled, parallel simulation study was compression-only CPR by two laypersons in a pre-hospital situation. Considering sex ratio, 64 participants were matched up in 32 teams equally divided into two gender groups, i.e. , homogenous or heterogeneous. Each team was finally allocated to one of two study groups according to the position of changing compression (SS or OS). Every team performed chest compression for 8 min and 10 sec, with chest compression changed every 2 min. The primary endpoint was cumulative hands-off time. Cumulative hands-off time of the SS group was about 2 sec longer than the OS group, and was significant (6.6 ± 2.6 sec vs. 4.5 ± 1.5 sec, P = 0.005). The range of hands off time of the SS group was wider than for the OS group. The mean hands-off times of each rescuer turn significantly shortened with increasing number of turns (P = 0.005). A subgroup analysis in which cumulative hands-off time was divided into three subgroups in 5-sec intervals revealed that about 70% of the SS group was included in subgroups with delayed hands-off time ≥ 5 sec, with only 25% of the OS group included in these subgroups (P = 0.033). Changing compression at the OS of each rescuer reduced hands-off time compared to the SS in prehospital hands-only CPR provided by two bystanders.

Abstract
AIM To describe chest compression (CC) rate, depth, and leaning during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as measured by two simultaneous methods, and to assess the accuracy and reliability of video review in measuring CC quality. METHODS Resuscitations in a pediatric emergency department are videorecorded for quality improvement. Patients aged 8-18 years receiving CPR under videorecording were eligible for inclusion. CPR was recorded by a pressure/accelerometer feedback device and tabulated in 30-s epochs of uninterrupted CC. Investigators reviewed videorecorded CPR and measured rate, depth, and release by observation. Raters categorized epochs as 'meeting criteria' if 80% of CCs in an epoch were done with appropriate depth (>45 mm) and/or release (<2.5 kg leaning). Comparison between device measurement and video was made by Spearman's ρ for rate and by κ statistic for depth and release. Interrater reliability for depth and release was measured by κ statistic. RESULTS Five patients underwent videorecorded CPR using the feedback device. 97 30-s epochs of CCs were analyzed. CCs met criteria for rate in 74/97 (76%) of epochs; depth in 38/97 (39%); release in 82/97 (84%). Agreement between video and feedback device for rate was good (ρ = 0.77); agreement was poor for depth and release (κ 0.04-0.41). Interrater reliability for depth and release measured by video was poor (κ 0.04-0.49). CONCLUSION Video review measured CC rate accurately; depth and release were not reliably or accurately assessed by video. Future research should focus on the optimal combination of methods for measuring CPR quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to estimate the accuracy of visual estimation of chest compression depth and identify potential factors affecting accuracy. METHODS This simulation study used a basic life support mannequin, the Ambu man. We recorded chest compression with 7 different depths from 1 to 7 cm. Each video clip was recorded for a cycle of compression. Three different viewpoints were used to record the video. After filming, 25 clips were randomly selected. Health care providers in an emergency department were asked to estimate the depth of compressions while watching the selected video clips. Examiner determinants such as experience and cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and environment determinants such as the location of the camera (examiner) were collected and analyzed. An estimated depth was considered correct if it was consistent with the one recorded. A multivariate analysis predicting the accuracy of compression depth estimation was performed. RESULTS Overall, 103 subjects were enrolled in the study; 42 (40.8%) were physicians, 56 (54.4%) nurses, and 5 (4.8%) emergency medical technicians. The mean accuracy was 0.89 (standard deviation, 0.76). Among examiner determinants, only subjects' occupation and clinical experience showed significant association with outcome (P=0.03 and P=0.08, respectively). All environmental determinants showed significant association with the outcome (all P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that accuracy rate was significantly associated with occupation, camera position, and compression depth. CONCLUSIONS The accuracy rate of chest compression depth estimation was 0.89 and was significantly related with examiner's occupation, camera view position, and compression depth.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and timely defibrillation are associated with increasing survival to hospital discharge from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The objective of this study was to demonstrate that performance coaching during an OHCA would improve compression depth and time to defibrillation (TTD). METHODS This study was conducted in a single emergency medical services (EMS) agency and utilized data collected from 815 patients treated between 1/1/2012 and 12/31/2013. The intervention used multiple Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to train fire captains to translate performance data into active direction. Testing began in simulation with small-scale expansions prior to system-wide implementation. Performance metrics included average (reported as a percentage) and actual compression depth (reported in millimeters), and TTD (an average in seconds). Analysis was conducted using Xbar and S control charts with standard assessment of special cause for performance data. A statistical shift was seen in means and standard deviations for both depth metrics. RESULTS Average depth of compressions improved from 69.8% (SD=28.0%) to 80.4 (SD=21.8%). Depth of compressions delivered increased from 43.6mm (SD=8.2mm) to 47.2mm (SD=8.1mm). Analysis of the S charts indicates a statistical shift in process variation for TTD. CONCLUSION Early results indicate that utilization of a CPR coach during OHCA improves compression depth and TTD. Further data are needed to assess sustainability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deficiencies in communication in health care are a common source of medical error. Preferred communication patterns are a component of resuscitation teaching. We audio-recorded resuscitations in a mixed paediatric medical and surgical ICU to describe communication. METHODS In the intensive care unit, resuscitation events were prospectively audio-recorded by two trained observers (using handheld recorders). Recordings were transcribed and anonymised within 24h. We grouped utterances regarding the same subject matter from beginning (irrespective of response) as a communication epoch. For each epoch, we describe the initiator, audience and content of message. Teamwork behaviours were described using Anesthesia Nontechnical Skills framework (ANTS), a behavioural marker system for crisis-resource management. RESULTS Consent rates from staff were 139/140 (99%) and parents were 67/92 (73%). We analysed 36min 57s of audio dialogue from 4 cardiac arrest events in 363h of prospective screening. There were 180 communication epochs (1 every 12s): 100 (56%) from the team-leader and 80 (44%) from non-team-leader(s). Team-leader epochs were to give or confirm orders or assert authority (61%), clarify patient history (14%) and provide clinical updates (25%). Non-team-leader epochs were more often directed to the team (65%) than the team-leader (35%). Audio-recordings provided information for 80% of the ANTS component elements with scores of 2-4. CONCLUSION Communication epochs were frequent, most from the team-leader. We identified an 'outer loop' of communication between team members not including the team-leader, responsible for 44% of all communication events. We discuss difficulties in this research methodology. Future work includes exploring the process of the 'outer loop' by resuscitation team members to evaluate the optimal balance between single leader and team suggestions, the content of the outer loop discussions and in-event communication strategies to improve outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Evidence of suboptimal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) delivery in practice has driven interest in strategies to improve CPR quality. Early data suggest that debriefing may be an effective strategy. In this review, we analyse types of debriefing and the evidence to support their usage. RECENT FINDINGS There is a general lack of standardization in terminology and methods used for debriefing that limits evaluation. Debriefing interventions generally take two different formats. Hot debriefing is one where individuals or teams are provided with debriefing immediately after the event. Although perhaps the most widely used and easiest to implement, research evidence for its effectiveness is scant. Cold debriefing, where individuals or teams are provided with feedback sometime after the event, is associated with improvements in process and patient outcomes. Such feedback usually involves the use of objective performance data, such as defibrillator downloads or videotape records. Before and after cohort studies have found that both verbal debriefing in groups and individual written feedback seem to be associated with an improvement in performance. SUMMARY Debriefing is a useful strategy to improve resuscitation performance, but the optimal delivery method remains unclear. Future high-quality research is required to identify the most effective form of debriefing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is important to survival after cardiac arrest. Mechanical devices (MD) provide constant CPR, but their effectiveness may be affected by deployment timeliness. OBJECTIVES To identify the timeliness of the overall and of each essential step in the deployment of a piston-type MD during emergency department (ED) resuscitation, and to identify factors associated with delayed MD deployment by video recordings. METHODS Between December 2005 and December 2008, video clips from resuscitations with CPR sessions using a MD in the ED were reviewed using time-motion analyses. The overall deployment timeliness and the time spent on each essential step of deployment were measured. RESULTS There were 37 CPR recordings that used a MD. Deployment of MD took an average 122.6 ± 57.8s. The 3 most time-consuming steps were: (1) setting the device (57.8 ± 38.3s), (2) positioning the patient (33.4 ± 38.0 s), and (3) positioning the device (14.7 ± 9.5s). Total no flow time was 89.1 ± 41.2s (72.7% of total time) and associated with the 3 most time-consuming steps. There was no difference in the total timeliness, no-flow time, and no-flow ratio between different rescuer numbers, time of day of the resuscitation, or body size of patients. CONCLUSIONS Rescuers spent a significant amount of time on MD deployment, leading to long no-flow times. Lack of familiarity with the device and positioning strategy were associated with poor performance. Additional training in device deployment strategies are required to improve the benefits of mechanical CPR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple factors may contribute to the observed survival variability following in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). While in-hospital CPR is most often performed on patients lying on a bed or stretcher, CPR training uses primarily manikins placed on the floor. We analyzed the quality of external chest compressions (ECC) in simulated cardiac arrest scenarios occurring both on a stretcher and on the floor. METHODS Prospective cross-over simulation study enrolling ED nurses and nurse's aides as part of an annual evaluation. Simulated CPR was performed in the 2 rescuer-mode for 2 min, both kneeling on the floor, and standing beside a knee high stretcher. The order of position was randomized. ECC parameters were compared. RESULTS ED nurses (n=48) and nurse's aides (n=26) performed 128 scenarios. Mean ECC depth was 32 ± 13 mm on the floor and 27 ± 11 mm on a stretcher (∆: 5 mm, 95%CI [3-7], P<.001). Participants last trained within a year (n=17) developed deeper ECCs than their colleagues (n=47) in both positions (floor: 39 ± 12 mm vs stretcher: 34 ± 11 mm (p=0.016) for those trained within the year, and floor: 29 ± 12 mm vs stretcher: 24 ± 10 mm (P<.001) for those trained over a year ago). CONCLUSIONS The quality of chest compressions performed by ED staff was below 2005 guideline standards, with decreased ECC depth during CPR on a stretcher. Annual refresher courses should be implemented in the ED, with a focus on obtaining required ECC depth while standing next to a stretcher.
