Résumé
We aimed to assess the learning effects of novice transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) simulator training and to identify gaps in existing studies. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the learning effects of novice TEE training with versus without simulators, searching published articles and proceedings in 6 major databases in June 2019. We included 9 RCTs (268 participants). Compared with nonsimulator training, TEE simulator training resulted in higher skill and knowledge posttraining test scores with large effect sizes (standardized mean difference = 0.81 for skill, 1.61 for knowledge; low-certainty evidence) and higher training satisfaction with a small effect size (standardized mean difference = 0.36; very low-certainty evidence). No RCTs reported training budget or patient outcomes. Additional well-designed studies with low risk of bias and large sample sizes are needed to provide reliable and robust findings and develop more effective TEE simulation-based training curricula.
