To evaluate the effect of blindfolding the lead resuscitator during veterinary cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) simulation training sessions on frequency of completed closed-loop communication statements (CLC).
Ten groups of staff volunteers were recruited for a prospective, randomized, blinded, observational pilot study over a 6-month period. Additionally, two associated online questionnaires were completed by participants.
Private veterinary referral hospital in the United Kingdom.
Forty volunteers were randomly allocated into ten groups of four. Each group was randomized as either control (CG) or blindfolded (BG) with the lead resuscitator always a veterinarian. The intervention involved the lead resuscitator wearing a blindfold during the third of four CPR simulation scenarios for the BG groups only.
Video footage of Scenarios 2 (before) and 4 (after) the intervention was reviewed to quantify complete CLCs. Quantitative data were analyzed, and descriptive statistics calculated using GraphPadPrism (GraphPadPrism, Version9.3.1(350) forMacOSX, GraphPadSoftware, SanDiego, CA). Information from questionnaire responses was also analyzed. Statistical differences between the BGs and CGs were analyzed and there was no statistical difference in frequency of CLCs between the BGs and CGs during Scenario 2 ( = 0.76). In Scenario 4, however, following the intervention, there was a significant difference between BGs and CGs ( = 0.03), with a greater number of CLCs for the BGs compared with the CGs.
Blindfolding the lead resuscitator in veterinary CPR training scenarios may be an effective method to increase the incidence of complete CLCs. Further studies would be required to investigate whether this finding is replicated and retained in the longer term.
评估在兽医心肺复苏（CPR）模拟训练期间，对主复苏者进行蒙眼处理对完整闭环沟通语句（CLC）频率的影响。
招募十组工作人员志愿者，进行为期6个月的前瞻性、随机、双盲观察性初步研究。此外，参与者还完成了两份相关的在线问卷。
英国的一家私立兽医转诊医院。
40名志愿者被随机分为十组，每组四人。每组被随机分为对照组（CG）或蒙眼组（BG），主复苏者始终为兽医。干预措施仅包括在BG组的四个CPR模拟场景中的第三个场景中，让主复苏者蒙上眼睛。
回顾干预前的场景2和干预后的场景4的视频片段，以量化完整的CLC。对定量数据进行分析，并使用GraphPadPrism（适用于MacOSX的GraphPadPrism，版本9.3.1(350)，GraphPad软件，加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥）计算描述性统计数据。还分析了问卷回复中的信息。分析了BG组和CG组之间的统计学差异，在场景2期间，BG组和CG组的CLC频率没有统计学差异（P = 0.76）。然而，在场景4中，干预后，BG组和CG组之间存在显著差异（P = 0.03），与CG组相比，BG组的CLC数量更多。
在兽医CPR训练场景中对主复苏者进行蒙眼处理可能是增加完整CLC发生率的有效方法。需要进一步研究以调查这一发现是否能在长期内得到重复和保持。
