A Multicenter International Randomized Controlled Manikin Study on Different Protocols of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Laypeople: The MANI-CPR Trial
Conclusions In a simulated OHCA, 30c2s and 50c5s protocols were characterized by a higher rate of chest compressions with correct depth than compression only. This could have practical consequences in laypeople CPR training and recommendations.

Development and Implementation of Augmented Reality Enhanced High-Fidelity Simulation for Recognition of Patient Decompensation
Introduction Simulation is a core aspect of training and assessment; however, simulation laboratories are limited in their ability to visually represent mental, respiratory, and perfusion status. Augmented reality (AR) represents a potential adjunct to address this gap. Methods A prospective, observational pilot of interprofessional simulation assessing a decompensating patient was conducted from April to June 2019. Teams completed 2 simulations: (1) traditional training (TT) using a manikin (Laerdal SimJunior) and (2) AR-enhanced training (ART) using a manikin plus an AR patient. The primary outcome was self-as...

Establishing a Cost-Effective 3-Dimensional Printing Laboratory for Anatomical Modeling and Simulation: An Institutional Experience
Summary Statement Three-dimensional (3D) printing is rapidly growing in popularity for anatomical modeling and simulation for medical organizations across the world. Although this technology provides a powerful means of creating accurately representative models of anatomic structures, there remains formidable financial and workforce barriers to understanding the fundamentals of technology use, as well as establishing a cost- and time-effective system for standardized incorporation into a workflow for simulator design and anatomical modeling. There are many factors to consider when choosing the appropriate printer and a...

Efficacy of Serious Games in Healthcare Professions Education: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Summary Statement Serious games (SGs) are interactive and entertaining software designed primarily with an educational purpose. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from experimental studies regarding the efficacy of SGs for supporting engagement and improving learning outcomes in healthcare professions education. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between January 2005 and April 2019 were included. Reference selection and data extraction were performed in duplicate, independently. Thirty-seven RCTs were found and 29 were included in random-effect meta-analyses. Compared with other educational interven...

“Who Am I and Why Am I Here?” A Scoping Review Exploring the Templates and Protocols That Direct Actors in Their Roles as Simulated (Standardized) Patients
Summary Statement Simulated patients (SPs) are increasingly used in health education and research. The aim of this article was to investigate templates and protocols that enable SPs to accurately and consistently adopt these roles. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews guided the search strategy for articles that detailed such templates or protocols. Embase Classic + Embase, ProQuest ERIC, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMCare, psycINFO, and Scopus were searched, and 17 articles were included in the review. The templates and protocols that were located differed in stru...

The Case of the Inadvertently Triggered Laser: An Historical Example of Simulation-Enhanced Adverse Event Investigation
This report describes an historical case example that illustrates how simulation used in investigating adverse events can identify underlying, remediable causes that otherwise may not be discovered. The event involved an operating room fire caused by inadvertent triggering of a laser. Guidelines for action after an adverse event were used to guide the postevent actions. An expert in operating room fires was engaged to conduct the investigation. Recommendations and considerations for conducting such investigations with simulation are offered. Simulation is likely underused for healthcare adverse event investigations; this c...

A Microdebriefing Crisis Resource Management Program for Simulated Pediatric Resuscitation in a Community Hospital: A Feasibility Study
Introduction Crisis Resource Management (CRM) is a team training tool used in healthcare to enhance team performance and improve patient safety. Our program intends to determine the feasibility of high-fidelity simulation for teaching CRM to an interprofessional team in a community hospital and whether a microdebriefing intervention can improve performance during simulated pediatric resuscitation. Methods We conducted a single-center prospective interventional study with 24 teams drawn from 4 departments. The program was divided into an initial assessment simulation case (pre), a 40-minute microdebriefing interv...

Simulation-Based Mastery Learning of Bronchoscopy-Guided Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy: Competency Acquisition and Skills Transfer to a Cadaveric Model
The objective of this study was to assess the acquisition of BG-PDT procedural competency with a simulation-based mastery learning training program, and skills transfer into cadaveric models. Methods Using a prospective interventional design, 8 trainees naive to the procedure were trained in a simulation-based mastery learning BG-PDT program. Students were assessed using a multimodal approach, including blind global rating scale (GRS) scores of video-recorded executions, total procedural time, and hand-motion tracking–derived parameters. The BG-PDT mastery was defined as proficient tracheostomy (successful procedu...
