Equipment setup accuracy. Three items common to the pre and post intervention assessments are presented (rows 2-4). Additionally, two items unique to the pre-intervention and two items unique to the post-intervention set up are presented (rows 7-10).
| Preintervention (n=17*) | Postintervention (n=18*) | Difference (95% CI) | P value | |
| Infusion pump setup with dexmedetomidine | 6/17, 35% | 13/18, 72% | 37% (6 to 68) | 0.028 |
| Atomizer, 10 mL syringe, 2% lidocaine assembled | 12/17, 71% | 17/18, 94% | 24% (2 to 48) | 0.061 |
| FOB defogged, lubricated and Parker ETT loaded | 12/17, 71% | 16/18, 89% | 18% (8 to 44) | 0.18 |
| Total common items correct | 30/51, 59% | 46/54, 85% | 26% (10 to 43) | 0.003 |
| Total error-free setups of common items | 3/17, 18% | 12/18, 67% | 49% (21 to 77) | 0.003 |
| 20 g PIV, 5 mL syringe | 5/17, 29% | n/a | n/a | |
| Syringe, 30 g needle, lidocaine | 3/17, 18% | n/a | n/a | |
| 4×4 gauze | 18/18, 100% | n/a | n/a | |
| FOB placed at head of OR bed | 16/18, 89% | n/a | n/a | |
| Total overall correct (common and unique items) | 38/85, 48% | 80/90, 89% | 41% | n/a |
| Total error free setups (common and unique items) | 0/17, 0% | 11/18, 61% | 61% | n/a |
Bold numbers indicate total critical steps and error free setups when only looking at steps common in the pre and post intervention simulations.
*Data were mistakenly not collected for three preintervention and two postintervention simulations.
ETT, endotracheal tube; FOB, fibreoptic bronchoscope; n/a, not available; OR, operating room; PIV, peripheral IV catheter.
