What this trial studies

This randomized trial investigates whether mental imagery can improve non-technical skills among anaesthesia residents after initial training in neonatal resuscitation. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will engage in mental imagery exercises while the other will read a cognitive aid. Over six months, both groups will undergo repeated training sessions, and their skills will be evaluated through blind video assessments. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of mental imagery as a cognitive aid in enhancing decision-making, communication, and teamwork skills in emergency situations.
