Brief summary
This is an international, collaborative study evaluating the non-technical skills (NTS) of anesthesiology residents. The goal is to explore the capability of performing a remote, international AR simulation for the purpose of assessing PALS during a medical crisis. Simulation experts in the United States will facilitate the AR simulations with anesthesiology residents in Hong Kong. The medical simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices in accordance with the American Heart Association.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Individual performance of non-technical skills assessed by Anaesthetist Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) | immediately after simulation | The Anaesthetist Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) scoring system uses four categories assessing task management, teamworking, situation awareness and decision-making (1 to 4 points by categories). The minimum score is 4 and the maximum 16 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Individual performance of non-technical skills assessed by Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS) | immediately after simulation | The BARS scoring system uses four categories assessing situation awareness, decision-making, communication and teamwork. The score ranges from 1 and 9 (1 = poor and 9 = excellent) |
| System Usability Scale (SUS) Score | immediately after simulation | The scale has 10 items. Scores ranges from 1-5 (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree) |
| The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Ergonomic scale | immediately after simulation | The scale has 6 items. Scores ranges from 1-5 (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree) |
