In brief

This multicenter randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the impact of temporary visual deprivation of the medical team leader on non-technical skills and team performance during high-fidelity simulated medical emergencies. The intervention is based on principles of crisis resource management and cognitive load theory. Team performance will be assessed using validated scoring tools immediately after the intervention and at three months follow-up.
