Simulator Training in Endoscopic Hemostasis

Effects of Simulation-Based Training in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…Our full search strategy has been published previously. 6 We searched for omitted articles by reviewing the reference lists of all included articles, technical reviews from the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 8 the September 2006 edition of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, which was dedicated to Endoscopy Simulators for Training and Assessing Skills (which included the consensus statement of the First International Conference on Endoscopy Simulation), 4,[9][10][11][12][13][14] and several published reviews of health professions simulation. 3,5,15 Finally, we searched the full table of contents of 2 journals devoted to health professions simulation (Simulation in Healthcare and Clinical Simulation in Nursing).…”

Simulator training improves practical skills in therapeutic GI endoscopy: results from a randomized, blinded, controlled study

“…[11][12][13][14][15] There is, however, no published literature regarding training in other therapeutic skills such as polypectomy, stricture dilation, and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube insertion. Completion of a basic therapeutic endoscopy course is now recommended for all trainees wishing to become accredited in endoscopy in the United Kingdom (UK).…”

Training and Credentialing in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

“…Perhaps the most well known application of these simulators is in hemostasis training [110]. The results of the randomized controlled pilot validation study of the efficacy of three serial EASIE workshops was discussed previously [36].…”

“…A program for advanced fellow training has not yet been established but is certainly under consideration. Many logistical hurtles, primarily funding, remain, but the interest is there, the number of faculty trained to train using the models is growing, and to some extent, data is emerging to demonstrate benefit on the models [102,110,120,121]. Improvements in ERCP and EUS simulator training should make workshops in these areas possible without the need for live animal work.…”
