This study aims to evaluate the impact of simulation-based training on medical residents' echocardiography mastery....
This interventional study was conducted among medical residents at the Simulation Center of the Faculty of Medicine in Monastir (CeSim) in January 2022. The intervention consisted of a theoretical tra...
A total of 28 medical residents participated in our study, with the majority being female (57.1%). The median age was 29 years (interquartile range: 28-31.75). Following training, the proportion of pa...
This study reports the beneficial role of simulation-based training in enhancing the mastery of medical residents in echocardiography. Incorporating such training methods into their learning curricula...
Despite the advantages of simulation-based training, trainees are typically unable to view internal anatomical structures. This limitation can be overcome by using mixed reality (MR) wherein 3-D virtu...
Sixty-two participants used projected images of arm veins to place a PIVC in a mannequin arm. Participants were evaluated using a checklist on their ability to successfully place the PIVC. Participant...
First attempt catheter placement was successful in 48 (77.4%) cases. Only 11 (17.7%) and 3 (4.8%) of participants caused 'extravasation' and 'hematoma' formation on their first attempt, respectively. ...
Results of this study showed that use of a novel MR trainer for PIVC placement appears to provide an environment conducive to successful learning. Most participants were successful at PIVC placement o...
simulation-based education (SBE) is becoming more prevalent in higher education. However, little is known of the perceptions of medical students towards this training approach. The objective of this s...
in January 2019, a paper-based 25-item survey on simulation-based training was administered to a convenience sample of 120 medical students in the 4...
a total of 95 surveys were completed (RR 79%). Respondents were mostly 21-30 years 95 (81%) and about half were female 60 (51%). Under half of 600 level students 22 (38%) reported receiving simulation...
there is an opportunity for increased exposure to simulation-based training during undergraduate medical education in Nigeria. Instruction in simulation methods for clinical lecturers in medical schoo...
The impact of simulation on the acquisition of surgical skills as well as their transfer to the operating room is still debated. The objective was to assess these two specific points, focusing on the ...
A systematic review of the literature, following the PRIMA statement, was performed using Medline database through September 2021 without time limit. Studies focusing on the impact of simulators on th...
Among the 11,442 publications identified, fifty-two studies were included in the analysis. The majority reported an improvement in procedure time of the requested tasks and dexterity of participants, ...
This review showed the positive impact of simulation on the acquisition of technical skills in endourology. However, in order to include proficiency-based progression in the curriculum of trainees, so...
High-fidelity models are required for technical mastery of bronchoscopic procedures in the fields of anaesthesia, intensive care, surgery and respiratory medicine. Our group has created a three-dimens...
With the increasing complexity and decreasing exposure to intracranial aneurysm surgery, training and maintenance of the surgical skills have become challenging. This review elaborated on simulation t...
A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines to identify studies on aneurysm clipping training using models and simulators. The primary outcome was the identification of the pr...
Of the 2068 articles screened, 26 studies met the inclusion criteria. The chosen reports used a wide range of simulation approaches including ex vivo methods (n = 6); virtual reality (VR) platforms (n...
The existing training methods are heterogenous and do not realistically simulate the complete microsurgical workflow. The current simulations lack certain anatomical features and crucial surgical step...
Mount Sinai Hospital in New York introduced a laparoscopic surgery simulation center to a public hospital in Santiago, Dominican Republic to determine the feasibility of training programs in low-and-m...
In August 2018, recruitment and preliminary data were collected at the Hospital Jose Maria Cabral y Báez in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The simulation room consists of three simulation stations. Res...
The partnership between hospitals allowed for successful integration into the Dominican general surgery training. Over 10 mo, residents averaged 25 h of practice (range: 8-35 h; SD 9.95 h). In total, ...
This study demonstrates the successful integration of a laparoscopic simulation program into an LMIC surgical resident training program. With commitment from local institutions and external resources,...
The aim of this research was to ascertain the highest need areas for vascular simulation, in order to tailor training for the highest impact....
A needs assessment was conducted according to best practices using the Delphi method. All consultant vascular surgeons/trainers in the training jurisdiction (n=33) were approached through an independe...
A final list of 34 vascular procedures was selected and prioritized by surgical trainers. Principles of arterial repair and endarterectomy/patching were considered the highest priority. Complex major ...
Core operative principles and common major operative cases should remain the priority for vascular technical skills training. Other procedures which may be less invasive, but have the potential for ma...
Patient safety education is necessary for the provision of high-quality medical services. A significant aspect of patient safety education is simulation training, which allows medical students to expe...
The correlation between driving skills and the ability to perform robotic surgery have not yet been discussed. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of driving skills on learning robot...
