About this study
The aim of this observational study is to compare the visual interests between residents in high-fidelity simulation practice
Read the detailed description
Eighteen first year residents were asked to take part in a nine-minute scenario based on an ACLS bradycardia algorithm in which a high-fidelity mannequin required external pacing. The scenario was considered a success if the material was correctly set by the participant to obtain electrical and mechanical pacing in nine minutes. All participants were wearing Tobii Glasses® which is a mobile eye-tracking system that automatically aggregates gaze data. Infrared markers were placed in the simulation room to create Area of Interest (AOI), from which results were obtained. Three AOI were created: the vital signs monitor, the defibrillator/pacing unit and the head of the patient. Eye-tracking data were analyzed using the Tobii Studio® program.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to first fixation, Total visit time
Using eye-tracking technology, gaze date can be aggregate onto Areas of interest where data can be extrapolated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Simulation Training and Perception, run by Issam Tanoubi.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Time to first fixation, Total visit time (time frame: During the scenario). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03049098, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Feb 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
