Developing Strategies for Implementation and Use of the Operating Room Black Box (ORBB)
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate the current use of Operating Room Black Box (ORBB)data in order to develop simulation-based training that improves intraoperative outcomes and safety, and to assess barriers and facilitators to its implementation. There are 3 Aims for this study that the investigator will test, but the Aim that is the interventional portion of this study is only reported here in Aim 2 - Establish the validity and effectiveness of high-fidelity immersive virtual simulation-based training in improving operating room quality and safety.
Description
The study will use a mixed within and between subjects' design with two groups - control, and simulation. Due to the dedicated time needed to enroll and complete the sessions along with the need for complete novice subjects, the investigator will recruit medical students at UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) from all years for the simulation group. For the Control group, the investigator will recruit participants from our OR team with a minimum of 5 years of experience at Clements University Hospital (CUH) consisting of surgeons, residents, scrub techs, circulating nurses, anesthesiologists…
