Abstract
Mental practice is an effective method for skill acquisition in medicine. We describe the integration of interview-derived sensory cues with a list of procedural steps into a cohesive script to facilitate mental practice for a High Acuity, Low-Occurrence procedure, the bougie-assisted cricothyrotomy. Data collection occurred through interviews with emergency physicians. Interview transcripts were analyzed on a coding framework based on a previously published list of procedural steps. These cues were integrated with procedural steps to create a narrative script. Eight interview transcripts were analyzed. A total of 328 cues were identified. On average, each participant identified 13.7 cues per procedure. This represents the first attempt to combine cues identified by practitioners along with procedural steps with the aim of supporting rich mental representations of a procedure. We expect that this script will be useful to physicians seeking to improve their skills in this rare procedure.
