“…The 16 studies were published between 2008 and 2017 in peer reviewed journals [12,14,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57]. However, no study was published in medical education periodicals.…”

“…All studies were in English. Eleven studies (68.7%) were from North America training programs [12, 14, 45-47, 50, 51, 53-56], three (18.7%) were from Asia [48,49,57]. and one each (6.2%) was from Europe [44] and South America [52].…”

“…The first was a randomized controlled trial to validate the novel training curriculum, and the second was the full simulation curriculum study. Seven observational studies (43.7%) were single-group pre-post tests [12,14,45,46,50,51,53], three (18.7%) were single group post-tests only [48,52,56], and two (12.5%) were nonrandomized, two-group studies [49,57].

Of 16 studies that met the criteria, only four (25%) randomized controlled trials were identified, and the remaining were observational studies. Seven observational studies (43.7%) were single-group pre-post tests. The mean number of trainees was 20.4 (SD, 14.1). Low-fidelity simulators were used in 13 studies (81.2%). Most of the studies (81.3%) were high quality based on a Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument score of 12 or more. Evidence of assessment tool validation was absent among all studies. No study outcome measures were directed to skills transfer to the operating room or patient outcomes. Overall learning outcomes' effect sizes were consistently high (2.2; SD, 1.6), with junior residents benefitting most (effect size, 2.8; SD, 2.2) CONCLUSIONS: Simulation-based skill training is associated with improved learning outcomes for cardiac surgery trainees with large effect sizes, but more behavior-level outcomes are required to fully assess its value.

“…This study, with a short duration and low intensity of training, also suggests that training can improve the surgical skills of physicians. Another study has shown that training-even low-intensity training-is beneficial for the skill acquisition process ( 21 ). A recent survey of Chinese physicians reported that the number of doctors aged 36–45 years accounted for 32.53% of the total number of doctors.…”

Objective: Many countries are facing a shortage of cardiac surgeons, who are crucial in meeting the demands of growing number of patients in need of coronary artery bypass grafting. This situation poses a serious challenge, especially in China. The purpose of this study is to determine whether cardiac surgeons are suitable for training in coronary artery anastomosis at an earlier stage in their career. Methods: We divided 12 cardiac surgeons with no prior experience in coronary artery anastomosis into senior and junior groups for training and assessment. All trainees received training in coronary artery anastomosis for a defined period. We performed in vivo and in vitro examinations before and after training, respectively. Additionally, we assessed individual surgical performance of surgeons by using performance rating scores, including different aspects of surgical skills rated on a five-point scale. Results: The post-training scores (overall, junior, senior) were significantly higher than the pre-training scores (overall, junior, and senior). We observed no differences in pre-training and post-training scores between the junior and senior groups. Conclusion: Senior surgeons did not had any significant advantages over junior surgeons with respect to coronary artery anastomosis in the absence of training. Junior surgeons achieved the same results as the senior surgeons after training.

Skill acquisition process in vascular anastomosis procedures: a simulation-based study

Abstract: Although the most significant improvement was observed in Group I, all groups demonstrated improved skills with the simulation model. Therefore, it can be suggested that anastomosis training on tissue-based simulation models may be beneficial for the skill acquisition process.
