Decision-making skills improve with critical care training: using simulation to measure progress.
Health care professionals are expected to acquire decision-making skills during their training, but few methods are available to assess progress in acquiring these essential skills. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a simulation methodology could be used to assess whether decision-making skills improve during critical care training. The investigators indicate that their findings provide evidence to support the validity of a simulation-based method to assess progress in decision-making skills.

ICU team composition and its association with ABCDE implementation in a quality collaborative.
Awakening, Breathing Coordination, Delirium, and Early Mobility bundle (ABCDE) should involve an interprofessional team, yet no studies describe what team composition supports implementation. This study found that ABCDE implementation was associated with frequent involvement of team members, suggesting a need for role articulation and coordination.
