Randomized-Controlled Trial of Three Different Learning Formats to Teach the Universal Protocol and Time-Outs

Abstract

This research explored three different methods for training medical residents and senior medical students to perform the Universal Protocol including time-outs. The study compared didactic training, which represents a traditional method of instruction, to two experiential training programs: manikin-based simulation (MBS) and screen base simulation (SBS). After training, time-out performance was assessed in a standardized patient exam. MBS training was associated with superior time-out performance and better teamwork and communication during the time-out than either didactic learning or SBS. All three groups demonstrated equivalent improvements in self confidence and knowledge involving the time-out process.
