Effectiveness of Interprofessional Manikin-Based Simulation Training on Teamwork Among Real Teams During Trauma Resuscitation in Adult Emergency Departments: A Systematic Review
Summary Statement This systematic review synthesizes the relevant evidence about the effectiveness of interprofessional manikin-based simulation training on teamwork among real teams during trauma resuscitation in adult civilian emergency departments. A systematic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, EBM reviews, PsycINFO, and Web of Science with no time limit. Only experimental and quasi-experimental studies were included. Effects of the simulation intervention on teamwork were categorized according to a modified version of the Kirkpatrick's model. From the 1120 studies found, 11 studies were in...

Inspiring Young Learners Toward a Career in Healthcare Using Simulation
Summary Statement To inspire young learners toward a career in healthcare and provide them opportunities to learn lifesaving skills, a hospital-based simulation center collaborated with a local middle school to develop a 88-minute simulation-based educational activity. The activity consisted of eight 10-minute stations on lifesaving and basic medical skills. One hundred fifty students participated. Evaluation surveys showed students favored stations with extensive hands-on activities and valued the opportunity to interact with health professionals. Students also reported more interest in science careers after the visit...

A Pilot Study of a Top-Tier Contraception Simulation Program to Improve Long-Acting Reversible Contraception Practices Among Health Care Trainees
Background and Objectives Long-acting reversible contraception methods are effective tools in family planning. However, resident physicians and other health care trainees may experience knowledge gaps and low utilization because of limited opportunity for training. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate self-assessed knowledge, counseling, and long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) device placement skills among health care trainees who attended a 1-day simulation-based training. In addition, we describe a simulation-based training program we developed to facilitate the use of LARC among health professional...

Evaluation of 3 Cognitive Load Measures During Repeated Simulation Exercises for Novice Anesthesiology Residents
Introduction Maintaining an appropriate level of cognitive load during simulations is crucial to optimize learning. We evaluated 3 subjective measures of cognitive load in a simulated operating room (OR) context across multiple scenarios of varying complexity. Methods This observational study of 25 first-year anesthesiology residents took place during a 5-day simulation “Boot Camp.” Each day, participants completed 2 different high-fidelity scenarios in a fully equipped simulated OR. After each simulation, participants completed 3 cognitive load measures: the Paas scale, NASA Task Load Index (TLX), and Cogni...

Evacuation of Vulnerable and Critical Patients: Multimodal Simulation for Nurse-Led Patient Evacuation
Introduction Virtual simulation (VS) is an adaptable medium for teaching critical disaster management skills such as efficient hospital evacuation. We aimed to compare VS and prerecorded narrated multimedia lecture–based training of pediatric nurses for evacuation of a sick newborn in the neonatal intensive care unit and pediatric emergency department (ED) using live evacuation simulations. Methods Thirty neonatal intensive care unit and 30 ED nurses enrolled with 30 randomized to multimedia lecture and 30 randomized to VS, with equal block distribution of nurses from each unit. Pretraining/posttraining survey...

Relationship Between Self-efficacy and Performance of Simulated Neonatal Chest Compressions and Ventilation
Conclusions In this study, self-reported efficacy had no correlation to clinical skills in neonatal resuscitation; participants both overestimated and underestimated their clinical proficiency. Prior participation in mock codes in the neonatal intensive care unit was the only factor that correlated with resuscitation performance.
