The Effectiveness of a New Dispatcher-Assisted Basic Life Support Training Program on Quality in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Performance During Training and Willingness to Perform Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Study
This study aimed to determine whether the HEROS program is associated with improved quality in CPR performance during training and willingness to provide bystander CPR compared with other basic life support programs without dispatcher-assisted CPR (non-HEROS). Methods This clustered randomized trial was conducted in 3 district health centers in Seoul. Intervention group was trained with the HEROS program and control group was trained with non-HEROS program. The primary outcome was overall CPR quality, measured as total CPR score. Secondary outcomes were other CPR quality parameters including average compression depth an...

Guidelines for the Responsible Use of Deception in Simulation: Ethical and Educational Considerations
Summary Statement Many techniques and modifications commonly used by the simulation community have been identified as deceptive. Deception is an important issue addressed by both the newly adopted Healthcare Simulationist Code of Ethics and the American Psychological Association Code of Conduct. Some view these approaches as essential whereas others question their necessity as well as their untoward psychological effects. In an attempt to offer guidance to simulation-based healthcare educators, we explore educational practices commonly identified as deceptive along with their potential benefits and detriments. We then ad...

Formal Training Efforts to Develop Simulation Educators: An Integrative Review
Summary Statement Formal training for educators who use simulation-based education (SBE) is required by standards of best practice, simulation guidelines, regulatory, and accrediting bodies. Training efforts to establish educator competency for SBE are being offered. However, a systematic review of this body of literature has yet to be conducted. The purpose of this integrative review was to appraise formal training efforts of educators who use SBE. The aims were to summarize the training topics, describe the structure of training programs, and explore evaluation methods of educators. The New World Kirkpatrick Model guid...

Do Fellows and Faculty Share the Same Perception of Simulation Fidelity? A Pilot Study
Conclusions Pediatric anesthesia fellows' ratings of simulation fidelity were at least as high as faculty ratings during an annual boot camp, suggesting that faculty in this setting developed simulations that the fellows found to be realistic. Faculty were relatively more critical of the fidelity of a skill session, compared with a teamwork scenario session. If this finding is generalizable, this may reassure faculty designing simulations for fellows. Continued inspection of the entwined nature of fidelity and simulation will help inform more effective learning for this growing educational modality. (Source: Simulation i...

Developing a Profile of Procedural Expertise: A Simulation Study of Tracheal Intubation Using 3-Dimensional Motion Capture
Background Improving the assessment and training of tracheal intubation is hindered by the lack of a sufficiently validated profile of expertise. Although several studies have examined biomechanics of tracheal intubation, there are significant gaps in the literature. We used 3-dimensional motion capture to study pediatric providers performing simulated tracheal intubation to identify candidate kinematic variables for inclusion in an expert movement profile. Methods Pediatric anesthesiologists (experienced) and pediatric residents (novices) were recruited from a pediatric institution to perform tracheal intubation on a...

Tablet-Based Decision Support Tool Improves Performance of Neonatal Resuscitation: A Randomized Trial in Simulation
Conclusions Teams with the DST had improved NRP adherence compared with teams relying on memory alone in 1 of 2 scenarios. Two and 3 HCP teams performed similarly. Given the positive results observed in the simulated environment, further testing the DST in the clinical environment is warranted.
