Checklists Improve Team Performance During Simulated Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Emergencies: A Randomized Trial.

Unlabelled: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-related complications are potentially catastrophic if not addressed quickly. Because complications are rare, high-fidelity simulation is recommended as part of the training regimen for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialists. We hypothesized that the use of standardized checklists would improve team performance during simulated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation emergencies.
