Crisis scenarios for simulation-based nontechnical skills training for cardiac surgery teams: a national survey among cardiac anesthesiologists, cardiac surgeons, clinical perfusionists, and cardiac operating room nurses.

Simulation-based training provides a safe environment to learn technical and nontechnical skills (NTS) such as communication and teamwork. This article describes the development of nontechnical, simulation-based crisis scenarios in cardiothoracic surgery. Cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists, cardiac perfusionists, and cardiac operating room nurses from all surgical cardiac centers in the Netherlands participated in the development of 13 crisis scenarios. The list of selected and non-selected scenarios and an example scenario design template are provided.
