Description

Stephen Flynn and co-authors tested in a 2024 randomized trial whether coaching a novice clinician right before a high-stakes procedure improves the care given. The procedure was placing a breathing tube in an infant's airway, a moment where a first-attempt success matters. Trainees from ten regional programs, on rotation at a Boston children's hospital, volunteered.

Trainees were split by training role into coached and standard groups in a parallel, unblinded design. The first-attempt success rate was the quality measure. Coaching just before the attempt is cheap and brief, so a real gain would spread fast across teaching hospitals. Readers get a clean trial of a simple idea: a short, expert word at the right minute, instead of more hours of class far from the bedside.
