Abstract
Background: A multidisciplinary simulation-based team training workshop was implemented to improve the knowledge and application of crisis resource management (CRM) principles in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. Methods: The workshop consisted of two scenarios followed by structured debriefing. The participants were asked to complete a survey, before and three months after the workshop, evaluating the knowledge base of CRM principles and perception of team dynamics. Results: The initial survey was completed by 144 participants; the follow-up was completed by 72 participants. There was a significant knowledge gap before the workshop, particularly in the areas of closed-loop communication and key principles for effective communication, which improved after the workshop. There was improvement in the perception of team performance three months after the workshop. Conclusions: This study shows that a multidisciplinary simulation-based team training in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit improves knowledge of CRM principles in addition to improved perception of effective teamwork.
