Nontechnical skills (hereinafter referred to as NTS), such as task management, leadership, situational awareness, communication, and decision making contribute to safe and efficient team performance. The importance during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is being increasingly emphasized. We carried out the intercultural adaptation of the TEAM score in Italian and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the resulting Italian version ( i -TEAM). A forward-backward translation was made with the author called i -TEAM. Psychometric properties of the i -TEAM score were evaluated, including acceptability, construct validity, and interrater reliability. We divided the participants into 3 groups based on their experience, and we verified if there was a correlation between the final score NTS of i -TEAM and the groups. The Cronbach coefficient was 0.91 for the Total i -TEAM score. The descriptive statistics showed that there was no correlation between NTS score and experience (group). Our results show that i -TEAM has psychometric properties similar to the original score.

Emergency airway management is a critical skill for healthcare professionals, particularly in life-threatening situations like "cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate" (CICO) scenarios. Errors and delays in airway management can lead to adverse outcomes, including hypoxia and death. Cognitive aids, such as checklists and algorithms, have been proposed as tools to improve decision-making, procedural competency, and non-technical skills in these high-stakes environments.

Objective: Previous simulation curricula of nontechnical skills have focused on communication skills or empathy in isolation from technical skills, using feedback from one rater. We aimed to develop and pilot an expanded simulation curriculum focused on situational performance of select character attributes with the goal of determining curricular feasibility, use of a novel psychometric rating tool, and receptivity of curriculum by participants.

Design: The simulation consisted of 2 contiguous parts requiring demonstration of both technical and nontechnical skills.
