Development and Testing of Screen-Based and Psychometric Instruments for Assessing Resident Performance in an Operating Room Simulator

Figure 1

Graphical user interface (GUI) used in simulation experiments. Parameters were updated at one-second intervals based on values read from an XLS file. The GUI featured a responsive pulse oximeter auditory display and IEC alarms that would annunciate when parameter alarm thresholds were transcended. Subjects entered answers to distractor questions and responses to state changes in the text entry box.
