Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
This group gets a simulation based ACLS refresher as treatment, but no access to cognitive aids for any of the tests.
Standard Simulation Based ACLS Refresher Teaching
45min-1 hour time. 15 minutes didactic review of 2010 ACLS guidelines followed by practice simulated megacodes
2nd Control Group
This group receives a standard Simulation based ACLS refresher as the intervention, like the control group. No mention is made of Cognitive Aids in the teaching, but they are available during the post-test and retention post-test.
Standard Simulation Based ACLS Refresher Teaching
45min-1 hour time. 15 minutes didactic review of 2010 ACLS guidelines followed by practice simulated megacodes
Cognitive Aid Group
This group receives Cognitive Aid based teaching as the intervention. They also have access to cognitive aids for post-test and retention post-test
Cognitive Aid based ACLS Refresher training
45min-1 hour time. 15 minutes didactic review of 2010 ACLS guidelines followed by simulated ACLS megacode practice focused on the use of Cognitive Aids to guide management.
