" Massive hemorrhage in the operative setting is a critical event that must be managed effectively by an interdisciplinary team to avoid adverse outcomes and patient death. The purpose of this project was to increase knowledge and self-efficacy of anesthesia providers and perioperative staff members related to the management of hemorrhagic crises and use of the massive transfusion protocol (MTP). A two-part educational bundle consisting of pre-education and low-fidelity simulation (LFS) via computer-based training (CBT) modules and hands-on skills sessions were utilized. Pre-educational materials consisted of narrated PowerPoint presentations and tutorials. A video simulation depicted the management of a massive blood loss scenario with an interdisciplinary team in the operative setting. Individualized hands-on skills sessions reviewed role-specific responsibilities regarding use of the MTP. Participants completed a knowledge test and self-efficacy survey pre-and-post intervention. After completing the educational bundle, an increase in knowledge and self-efficacy was observed. The overall group mean total score on the knowledge test changed from 12.38 to 13.08. Aggregated mean score increased by 5.65%. Self-efficacy related to role-specific responsibilities and the team's ability to carry out the MTP increased significantly for all participants. This project serves as an example of how a multimodal educational bundle can improve knowledge, confidence, and overall readiness to respond to critical events involving massive hemorrhage. This model can be utilized for crisis management education for other potential perioperative crises and demonstrates how pre-education and low-fidelity simulation (LFS) enable crisis management training to be readily accessible to the entire interdisciplinary team. Keywords: perioperative interdisciplinary education, massive transfusion protocol, crisis management, pre-education, low-fidelity simulation " -- Abstract
