Sponsor's own description

Learning to insert a central venous catheter (CVC) is essential in anesthesiology and the use of simulation is recommended. Since 2017, this training has been integrated into the curriculum for incoming first year anesthesia residents in Île de France and combines a theoretical part (flipped classroom) and a practical part on a simulator. Given the large number of residents, the time to teach the procedure during the simulation session is limited. To increase the positive effects of the simulation when the learner is in the role of observer, some authors have proposed to strengthen the educational effect through the use of an observer tool that observers must complete by analyzing the progress of the task performed by their colleagues. This is a list describing the set of key points to be achieved. However, data concerning the educational value of these observer tools are limited. Studies on the use of these tools during crisis management training in the operating room assessed by high-fidelity simulation has been already conducted but not on their use during procedural simulation.

The objective of this study will be to assess the value of using an observer tool (OT) (including the key points during the insertion of an internal jugular CVC) to improve learning outcomes of incoming anesthesia residents during procedural simulation training.
