Simulation-based training in anaesthesiology: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Simulation has long been integrated in anaesthesiology training, yet a comprehensive review of its effectiveness is presently lacking. Using meta-analysis and critical narrative analysis, we synthesized the evidence for the effectiveness of simulation-based anaesthesiology training. We searched MEDLINE, ERIC, and SCOPUS through May 2011 and included studies using simulation to train health professional learners. Data were abstracted independently and in duplicate. We included 77 studies (6066 participants). Co… Show more

“…[57] Simulation has deservedly gained a leading role in teaching and among the methods of training in the field of medical disciplines, further outlining the importance of the human factor in the occurrence of potentially critical situations. [40,58] In conclusion, simulation is a unique and innovative medium of instruction for medical training, full of potential, and essential to the formation, growth and maturation of the student. It is truly important to provide all undergraduate and postgraduate medical schools with a simulation center or laboratory with suitable technology and preparation of instructors, in the certainty that this will contribute to patient safety and, ultimately, save many lives.…”

“…[7] The basic features for a successful training program that uses human-size simulators are essentially represented by a suitable logistics infrastructure, appropriate materials, participation of instructors with specific training courses, and an instructorstudent ratio as close as possible to the ideal value of 1:3, equivalent to that suggested for correct teaching at the bedside. [40] Typical scenarios of simulation in anesthesia can be represented by common management and daily problems that the specialist anesthetist faces (e.g. induction of anesthesia, difficult intubation, postoperative hypotension, management of trauma, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, etc.…”

“…The simulators in airway management helps in improving psychomotor level (skill training), cognitive level (decision making) or affective level (interacting with peers/coworkers) [1]. The simulators are an important tool for evaluation of efficacy of training and skill retention [1,2,9]. In view of ethical concerns and patient safety, simulator training would become essential prior to interacting with real patients as compared to training on real patients.…”

“…Lorello et al reviewed the literature on simulation training for skills, knowledge and behaviours and patient effects of simulation training (Lorello, Cook, Johnson, & Brydges, 2014). Despite a limited number of papers included, they found a strong effect of simulation-based team (CRM) training over other methods (one study) or no intervention (five studies) to improve team behaviours.…”

“…No improvement in mutual performance monitoring was seen in this study, Team training interventions in health traditionally use a small subset of methods that have been used in other industries. Simulation-based team training interventions have been shown to improve team performance in anaesthesia (Lorello et al, 2014) and team behaviours have been linked to improved performance (Schmutz & Manser, 2013).…”
