Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate whether the use of medical checklists in the emergency department can decrease resuscitation time in critically ill patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A scenario evaluating tricyclic antidepressant poisoning will be carried out with and without medical checklist access. Emergency physicians from the Netherlands who are willing to take part in the study are randomly allocated to perform the scenario with or without checklists.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants (emergency physicians) will be allocated to performing the scenario with or without checklist in a randomized fashion on a 1:1 ratio. Computerized randomization will take place using an online randomization module.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group: with checklist

When starting the scenario, a checklist will be given to the emergency physician. The checklist outlines interventions to consider during management of a patient with tricyclic antidepressant poisoning. Each checklist will include indications, contra-indications and for medication, dose, route and rate of administration.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Checklist

Intervention Type DEVICE

A checklist is an aid that outlines assessments or actions systematically. In this study, the checklist outlines interventions to consider during management of a patient with tricyclic antidepressant poisoning. Each checklist will include indications, contra-indications and for medication, dose, route and rate of administration.

Control group: without checklist

Emergency physicians will be asked to perform the scenario as they would in their daily practice. They will be allowed to use their usual cognitive aids (eg, phone, internet) but not allowed to request help from others.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
