Abstract
Purpose
Critical events in the operative setting require rapid management to prevent adverse
outcomes. This article describes a multimodal educational bundle that was designed
and implemented to improve readiness to respond to crises involving significant blood
loss. Intended outcomes of this project were to increase knowledge and self-efficacy
of anesthesia providers and perioperative staff members related to the use of the
massive transfusion protocol (MTP).
Design
This is a quality improvement (QI) project.
Methods
A two-part educational bundle consisted of pre-education and low-fidelity simulation
(LFS) via computer-based training (CBT) modules followed by hands-on skills sessions.
Anesthesia providers, registered nurses, and technicians in the operative suite completed
the educational intervention. Knowledge and self-efficacy were measured pre-and-post
intervention.
Findings
After completing the educational bundle, the aggregated mean score on a knowledge
test increased by 5.65%. Self-efficacy related to role-specific responsibilities and
confidence regarding the team's ability to carry out the MTP significantly increased
for all participants (n = 62).
Conclusions
This project serves as an example of how a multimodal educational bundle can improve
knowledge, confidence, and readiness to respond to critical events. This model demonstrates
how pre-education and LFS enable crisis management training to be readily accessible
for an entire interdisciplinary team.
