Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to develop the Perfusionists' Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills tool, specifically to the perfusionists' context, and test its inter-rater reliability. Methods: An expert panel was convened to review existing surgical nontechnical skills taxonomies and develop the Perfusionists' Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills tool. During a workshop held at a national meeting, perfusionists completed the Perfusionists' Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills ratings after watching 4 videos displaying simulated cardiac operations. Two videos showed "good performance," and 2 videos showed "poor performance." Inter-rater reliability analysis was performed and intraclass correlation coefficient was reported. Results: The final version of the Perfusionists' Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills taxonomy contains 4 behavioral categories (decision making, situation awareness, task management and leadership, teamwork and communication) with 4 behavioral elements each. Categories and elements are rated using an 8-point Likert scale ranging from 0.5 to 4.0. A total of 60 perfusionist raters were included and the comparison between rating distribution on "poor performance" and "good perfor-mance" videos yielded a statistically significant difference between groups, with a P value less than .001. A similar difference was found in all behavioral categories and elements. Reliability analysis showed moderate inter-rater reliability across overall ratings (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.735; 95% confidence interval, 0.674-0.796; P < .001). Similar inter-rater reliability was found when raters were stratified by experience level. Conclusions: The Perfusionists' Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills tool presented moderate inter-rater reliability among perfusionists with varied levels of experience. This tool can be used to train and assess perfusionists in relevant nontechnical skills, with the potential to enhance safety and improve surgical outcomes. (J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2023;165:1462-9)

Key content
- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
