ABSTRACT

Introduction: Simulated clinical experience allows to asses response of pre-hospital care, emergencies and critical care teams to a suspected case of COVID-19. Case report: A multiple environment was set, beginning at patient’s home and continued in hospital. During the analysis, a self-assessment exercise was carried out on emotions, cognitive load and self-perception of efficacy. A difference was found in the cognitive load in favor of the critical care and emergencies groups compared to pre-hospital care. All three groups expressed high self-perception of efficacy; however, a performance gap was observed in terms of prevention and control of the infection and non-technical skills. Conclusions: We highlight the need to take cognitive load and non-technical skills into account in the design of simulated clinical experience, their role in self-perception of efficacy, and the value of translational simulation in the continuous improvement of processes for the care of COVID-19.
