Multitasking in anesthesia: how well do clinicians perform under pressure in a simulation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this single-center, observational study, anesthesiologists participate in two visits: a multitasking simulation where manual mask ventilation is performed while answering clinical questions, and a quiet-conditions visit with SCT-style questions. Each participant serves as their own control, with the order randomized to minimize learning bias. The study uses a 44-item Script Concordance Test distributed across 20 vignettes to measure clinical reasoning under both conditions. No interventions are given beyond the simulation training, and the research is classified as non-interventional. Outcomes focus on how multitasking impacts clinical performance and reasoning in a controlled simulated environment.
