Learning Curves and Competences of Vascular Trainees Performing Open Aortic Repair in a Simulation-Based Environment

Simulation-Based Education of Endovascular Scrub Nurses Reduces Stress and Improves Team Performance

“…The project's general acceptance may also have been facilitated by the fact that technical simulation and interprofessional education for years have been an integrated and prioritized part of the department's strategy. 2,23 From the OR-Black-Box experience, monitoring of the operating room (video and audio) and intraoperative data, in general, have been positively received, findings supporting our present experience. 24 Nevertheless, concerns about privacy and the risk of litigation have also been expressed, underlining the importance of addressing these concerns to facilitate successful implementation.…”

A Systematic Review of Simulation-Based Training in Vascular Surgery

“…65 This corresponds to a surgical review that found only 6.6% of studies used the modern concept of validity. 89 None of the studies in this review showed complete validity for all domains, although Lawaetz et al 29 achieved highly by scoring 2/2 for four of the validity criteria. A significant proportion of studies scored highly (rating ¼ 2/2) for content (46%) and relations to other variables (76%).…”

“…The Inanimate OAR bench simulator achieved excellent ratings across the board, rating 2/2 for content, response processes, internal structure, and consequences. 29 An LoE of 2/5 was awarded due to a decrease in the simulated procedure time and supervisor interference.…”

“…Internal structure reporting was weak as many studies discussed measures of reliability, but only a small proportion (6.6%) scored 2/2 by using multiple measures to calculate interitem and test-retest reliability. Only two studies (2.6%) 29 , 65 scored high validity ratings for consequences criteria, the most neglected validity criteria, by setting a pass-fail score. This criterion was vital to set a certain trainee competence level before practice on real patients.…”

A view from the top: A qualitative exploration of top‐level health care leaders’ perceptions on the implementation of simulation‐based education in postgraduate medical education

“…For instance, the simulation-based course in open and endovascular aortic aneurysm repair was developed based on the results of a needs assessment and is now offered to all vascular surgery trainees in the country. [22][23][24][25] Other available simulation-based courses include flexible bronchoscopy for residents in respiratory medicine, thoracoscopy for thoracic surgical trainees, knee arthroscopy and hip fracture surgery for orthopaedic surgical trainees. While these evidence-based simulation-based courses are available, they are not implemented as mandatory requirement for completing residency training.…”
