A Novel Simulated Training Platform and Study of Performance Among Different Levels of Learners in Flexible Cystoscopy
Discussion Advances in electronic technology make portable low-cost models a potential low-cost alternative to endourology training platforms. In providing a quantifiable measure of user performance, the tool may shorten the learning curve in flexible cystoscopy and, potentially, reduce clinical errors and provide quantifiable measures for further clinical training.

Engaging Children as Simulated Patients in Healthcare Education
This article focuses on middle childhood (6–12 years)11 a distinctive developmental stage between 2 major developmental transition stages: infancy and adolescence. Middle childhood is associated with compulsory school attendance, developing skills in self-discipline, conflict resolution, and decision-making. Child SPs can play an important role in healthcare education providing direct insight into this unique period of development. They can contribute to the design and delivery of simulations to increase fidelity and provide meaningful real-time feedback to learners on children's experience of the healthcare system. Desp...

Applying Principles From Aviation Safety Investigations to Root Cause Analysis of a Critical Incident During a Simulated Emergency
Summary Statement Safety investigations in aviation aim to identify potential root causes. They use structured techniques to analyze information from flight data and cockpit voice recorders. Full-scale medical simulations using audiovisual recordings provide similar possibilities. During a simulated cardiac arrest, an incident related to use of the defibrillator (automated external defibrillator) occurred with emergency medical services (EMS) providers. Treatment interventions and dialogs during the incident were extracted from audiovisual recordings and transferred into a transcript of events. Knowing indicated treatme...

Using Simulation to Measure and Improve Pediatric Primary Care Offices Emergency Readiness
Conclusions Pediatric primary care office emergency preparedness was found to be variable. Simulation can be used to augment existing measures of emergency preparedness, such as checklists. By using simulation to measure office emergency preparedness, areas of knowledge deficit and latent safety threats were identified and are being addressed through ongoing collaboration.

Participation in a System-Thinking Simulation Experience Changes Adverse Event Reporting
This study explored the premise that exposure to a simulation experience designed to improve system thinking (ST) would impact adverse event reporting patterns. Methods An intervention-control study was used to explore impacts of participation in a simulation designed to improve ST on adverse event reporting. Each summer Bachelor in Nursing Science students along with medical students participate in a week-long simulation-based interprofessional patient safety course. During the 2017 course, Friday Night in the ER, a table-top simulation designed to develop ST was included. As part of the school nursing's simulation pro...

Does the Technique for Assessing Loss of Resistance Alter the Magnitude of Epidural Needle Tip Overshoot?
Introduction Postdural puncture headache due to accidental dural puncture is a consequence of excessive needle tip overshoot distance after entering the epidural space via a loss of resistance (LOR) technique. We are not aware of any quantitative comparison of the magnitude of needle tip overshoot (distance traveled by the needle tip beyond the point where LOR can be discerned) for the various LOR assessment techniques that are taught. Such a comparison may provide insight into contributing factors of accidental dural puncture and associated postdural puncture headache. Methods A custom-built simulator was used to eva...

The Effect of Simulator-Integrated Tutoring for Guidance in Virtual Reality Simulation Training
Introduction Simulation-integrated tutoring in virtual reality (VR) simulation training by green lighting is a common learning support in simulation-based temporal bone surgical training. However, tutoring overreliance can negatively affect learning. We therefore wanted to investigate the effects of simulator-integrated tutoring on performance and learning. Methods A prospective, educational cohort study of a learning intervention (simulator-integrated tutoring) during repeated and distributed VR simulation training for directed, self-regulated learning of the mastoidectomy procedure. Two cohorts of novices (medical s...

Participant Perspectives on the Contributions of Physical, Psychological, and Sociological Fidelity to Learning in Interprofessional Mental Health Simulation
Conclusions Psychological and sociological fidelity were perceived by participants as being most critical to learning in interprofessional mental health simulation. Improving our understanding of how simulation works in this context is important to effectively direct the efforts of learners, instructors, and designers toward maximizing the benefit of simulation-based learning in a cost-efficient manner.
