Resident training and interrater agreements using the ACNS critical care EEG terminology.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Electroencephalography (EEG) remains the gold standard for identifying rhythmic and periodic patterns in critically ill patients. Residents have frequent exposures to EEG and critically ill patients during their training. Our study aimed to assess resident competency in the use of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) critical care EEG terminology.

Methods

After self-guided reading and a 2-hour session reviewing the ACNS critical care EEG Terminology training slides, 16 adult neurology residents (PGY 2-4) completed the ACNS certification test. Performance scores were reported as average percent agreement (PA%) with a previously established 5-member expert panel. Interrater agreement was calculated to gauge consensus among peers within the resident cohort. Self-reported comfort levels using the terminology were also obtained.

Results

The overall pass rate for our cohort was 50% and the median score was 74%. The terms with the highest PA% were: seizures (86.4%), main term 1 (78%), main term 2 (74%). Interrater agreement scores (kappa values) were almost perfect for seizure, and substantial for main terms 1 and 2.

Conclusions

Our data suggests that with minimal investment, adult neurology residents at various stages of training can effectively learn the ACNS critical care EEG Terminology.

Project description:ObjectivesResidents are often assigned online learning materials as part of blended learning models, superimposed on other patient care and learning demands. Data that describe the time patterns of when residents interact with online learning materials during the ICU rotation are lacking. We describe resident engagement with assigned online curricula related to time of day and ICU clinical schedules, using website activity data.DesignProspective cohort study examining curriculum completion data and cross-referencing timestamps for pre- and posttest attempts with resident schedules to determine the hours that they accessed the curriculum and whether or not they were scheduled for clinical duty. Residents at each site were cohorted based on two differing clinical schedules-extended duration (>24 hr) versus shorter (maximum 16 hr) shifts.SettingTwo large academic children's hospitals.SubjectsPediatric residents rotating in the PICU from July 2013 to June 2017.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsOne-hundred and fifty-seven pediatric residents participated in the study. The majority of residents (106/157; 68%) completed the curriculum, with no statistically significant association between overall curriculum completion and schedule cohort at either site. Residents made more test attempts at nighttime between 6 PM and 6 AM (1,824/2,828; 64%) regardless of whether they were scheduled for clinical duty. Approximately two thirds of test attempts (1,785/2,828; 63%) occurred when residents were not scheduled to work, regardless of time of day. Forty-two percent of all test attempts (1,199/2,828) occurred between 6 PM and 6 AM while off-duty, with 12% (342/2,828) occurring between midnight and 6 AM.ConclusionsResidents rotating in the ICU completed online learning materials mainly during nighttime and off-duty hours, including usage between midnight and 6 AM while off-duty. Increasing nighttime and off-duty workload may have implications for educational design and trainee wellness, particularly during busy, acute clinical rotations, and warrants further examination.
