Reducing Perineal Lacerations Through Team-Based Simulation
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an interprofessional simulation-based teams-training program aimed at reducing severe perineal lacerations during childbirth. Methods A quasi-experimental pre-post single-group design was used to examine the performance of labor and delivery personnel at a large multihospital system after participating in a mixed-modality simulation program for reducing perineal lacerations. Multiple educational strategies aimed at management of second stage of labor (including laboring down, warm compresses, coaching, positioning, perineal support, controlled delivery of ...

Balancing Deliberate Practice and Reflection: A Randomized Comparison Trial of Instructional Designs for Simulation-Based Training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skills
Conclusions Consistent with the notion that component skills in resuscitation do not clearly and exclusively constitute “taskwork” versus “teamwork,” both instructional designs led to similar improvements despite differences in the balance between hands-on practice versus reflection.

The Effect of Variations in Force Feedback in a Virtual Reality Environment on the Performance and Satisfaction of Dental Students
Conclusions The results of this study imply that if students practice a sufficient amount of time at one level of FFB, a skill is transferable from one level of FFB to another. (Source: Simulation in Healthcare: The Journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare)

Learning Curves for Two Fiberscopes in Simulated Difficult Airway Scenario With Cumulative Sum Method
Introduction The aims of this randomized prospective mannequin study were to determine the amount of attempts required for successful intubation using different fiberscopes (Bonfils and SensaScope) by inexperienced anesthesiologists in a difficult airway scenario and to build the associated learning curves. Methods Difficult airway simulation was achieved with tongue edema in mannequin. After approval of volunteers, we asked 15 anesthesiology residents without any experience with fiberscopes to intubate with each device in a random order. Intubation success (endotracheal intubation within 120 seconds), the degree of d...

“Nightmares–Family Medicine” Course Is an Effective Acute Care Teaching Tool for Family Medicine Residents
Introduction Simulation is an effective method for teaching acute care skills but has not been comprehensively evaluated with family medicine (FM) residents. We developed a comprehensive simulation-based approach for teaching acute care skills to FM residents and assessed it for effectiveness. Method We compared the effectiveness of our standard acute care simulation training [Acute Care Rounds (ACR)] to a more comprehensive simulation-based acute care program, Nightmares–Family Medicine (NM). We used a self-reported comfort scale as well as video-captured performance on an acute care Objective Structured Clinical E...
