Forward3/6/2025 Anesthesiology Journal Club - Coaching inexperienced clinicians before a high stakes medical procedure: randomized clinical trial
This journal club reviews a randomized clinical trial evaluating whether just-in-time coaching—brief, focused training delivered immediately before a procedure—can improve first-attempt success rates for infant intubation, a high-risk and technically challenging skill. Participants will examine the unique challenges of the pediatric airway, analyze study methods and outcomes, and discuss the potential role of just-in-time training in improving procedural performance and reducing cognitive workload in clinical practice.
Target Audience
Anesthesiologists and anesthesiologists-in-training and other anesthesia professionals, nurse anesthetists and anesthesia assistants.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the utility of “just-in-time” training prior to high stakes medical procedures with trainees.
- Review the pediatric airway anatomy and physiology.
- Discuss advantages & disadvantages of “just-in-time” training in anesthesiology residency training.
