At the end of the course, everyone was able to perform the procedure in accordance with the standard. The training provided a learning gain and a considerable improvement in skills and competencies in...
Artificial simulators proved to be excellent auxiliary tools in the training of urology residents in RIRS....
Simulation-based training has been shown to increase confidence and improve technical proficiency in surgical trainees. In this review, we describe the methods of simulation-based training currently b...
A variety of educational modalities are used to teach regional anesthesia. Simulation is an educational tool that facilitates hands-on learning in a well tolerated, reproducible environment, eliminati...
Simulation is useful for learners of all levels of expertise, though the application and frequency of simulation must be adapted to meet the learners' objectives....
This review presents recommendations for the use of simulation for residents, fellows, practicing anesthesiologists without formal training in regional anesthesia, and practicing anesthesiologists wit...
Arterial cannulation is an important procedure for hemodynamic monitoring and blood sampling. Traditional radial artery cannulation is performed by using anatomical knowledge and pulse palpation as a ...
A prospective randomized controlled crossover study was conducted with new US users on a gelatin phantom wrist. Three sessions of training were proposed: US-guided technique with low blood pressure (B...
Twenty new US users participated in the study. Numbers of attempts before successful catheterization were significantly lower when using the US technique: 1.1 (± 0.4) for US versus 1.6 (± 0.8) for pal...
US technique was more successful than traditional palpation technique for novice US users performing arterial cannulations for the first time. A study in the clinical practice is needed to confirm the...
We report on immersive simulation scenarios with video-enhanced debriefing as part of a full day education program for members of a newly implemented hospital incident command group. The hospital inci...
Are immersive simulation scenarios with video-enhanced debriefing a suitable method as part of an education program to change the perceptions of participants about their tasks and enhance their motiva...
Participants of a 1‑day educational workshop completed immersive simulation scenarios during which they took on roles and responsibilities of a hospital incident command group. A final questionnaire w...
The vast majority of participants assessed the immersive simulation scenarios as effective in changing their perceptions and to motivate them to become part of a hospital incident command group. Simul...
Emergency medicine is particularly well suited to simulation training. However, evidence for the efficacy of simulation-based medical training remains limited especially to manage high-risk cases such...
The objective of our study was to compare the performance of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) and interactive video-case challenge-based training (IVC) for final-year medical students in the management ...
This was a prospective randomized controlled study conducted at the emergency department (ED) of Monastir University hospital ( Tunisia). 69 final-year medical students were randomized to HFS (n = 34)...
There were no differences in age between groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the HFS and IVC groups pre-test scores (p = 0.07). Both groups demonstrated improvement in MC...
High-fidelity simulation-based training was superior to interactive video-case challenge for teaching final year medical students,and led to more long-term knowledge retention in the management of sim...

Simulation is a cornerstone of training in neonatal clinical care, allowing learners to practice skills in a safe and controlled environment. Competency-based assessment provides a systematic approach...
Internationally, interprofessional simulation (IPS) training increasingly is being included in nursing curricula. This systematic review examined the elements of IPS training that prepare nursing stud...
Five databases (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL], ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were searched for articles published from 2000 through 2020. Search ter...
Twenty-one studies were included. Five key themes emerged: (1) foster safe learning spaces, (2) realism matters, (3) effective debriefing is essential, (4) communication and teamwork increase patient ...
IPS training provides nursing students with learning opportunities that can fundamentally shape their capacity to work effectively in interprofessional and multi-disciplinary settings....
Recent advancements in surgical technology, reduced working hours, and training opportunities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic have led to an increase in simulation-based training. Furthermore, a ...
PubMed and EMBASE were searched on January 1, 2021, for full-text English studies on vascular surgery simulators. Eligible articles were given validity ratings based on Messick's modern concept of val...
Overall 76 eligible articles validated 34 vascular surgery simulators and training courses for open and endovascular procedures. High validity ratings were achieved across studies for: content (35), r...
Simulation-based training in vascular surgery is a continuously developing field with exciting future prospects, demonstrated by the vast number of models and training courses. To effectively integrat...
Metric based virtual reality simulation training may enhance the capability of interventional neuroradiologists (INR) to perform endovascular thrombectomy. As pilot for a national simulation study we ...
Six INR and four residents participated in the thrombectomy skill training on a VR simulator (Mentice VIST 5G). Two different case-scenarios were defined as benchmark-cases, performed before and after...
All participants improved in mean total procedure time for both benchmark-cases. Experts showed significant improvements in handling errors (case 2), a reduction in contrast volume used (case 1 and 2)...
VR simulation training enhances the capability of INR to perform endovascular thrombectomy on the VR simulator. INR have generally a positive attitude towards VR simulation training. Whether the VR si...
