Subclaims¶

q2 i? In Dumas et al.'s study of 61 ED thoracotomy patients, the association between T-NOTECHS scores and ROSC did not reach statistical significance, but high assessment and decision-making scores were 5.3x more likely to lead to ROSC. → Alexander Emily G 2023

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Observational study of 61 patients undergoing emergency department thoracotomy, reported in Table 2 of the review; the overall association "did not reach statistical significance" while high assessment and decision-making scores were "5.3x more likely to lead to ROSC". No effect size printed.

"Association between T-NOTECHS scores and ROSC did not reach statistical significance. Assessment and decision-making high scores were 5.3x more likely to lead to ROSC"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Problem Solving — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• A systematic review of ED resuscitation video review identified four unique NTS assessment tools, with T-NOTECHS used in six of nine studies — a broader claim this one bears on
• T-NOTECHS inter-rater reliability varies widely across ED video-review studies, from moderate (ICC 0.48) to excellent (ICC 0.94) — related
