The Emerging Role of Simulation Education to Achieve Patient Safety

Practical Clinical Training in Skills Labs: Theory and Practice

“…Hence, simulation-based medicine not only allows for the training of rare emergency measures but is, in itself, a crucial prerequisite to ensure good practice. Especially, the aspect of patient safety is of particular importance here: situations handled by medical students or young physicians with lacking adequate prior medical training have been shown to increase patient risk [14], [15]. Accordingly, in a study from 2006, Takayasu and colleagues were able to show that students particularly appreciated the aspect of experiential “practice without risk” of harming real patients in simulation-based training [16].…”

“…In 2011, Duvivier et al showed that students’ OSCE results improved with the increasing use of DP methods [39]. In turn, Griswold and colleagues were able to confirm that the DP method also improved practical skills increasing patient safety consecutively [14]. Moreover, McGhie even reported a strong dose-response relationship: the number of hours subjects spent practicing with high-fidelity simulators correlated with standardized learning outcomes [40].…”

Impact of a simulated practice program in the construction of self-confidence for intervention in emergencies and its association with knowledge and performance

“…[20] Various studies show that self-confidence to respond to emergency situations increases when factors like repeated practice [19] and simulation training are present. [2,9,19,[21][22][23][24][25] In a recent systematic review [26] on high-fidelity simulation, although the qualitative studies indicated that self-confidence and competences were variables with positive results, the quantitative studies did not confirm these results. So, the authors suggested further research with larger samples and validated assessment instruments.…”

The utility of live video capture to enhance debriefing following transcatheter aortic valve replacement

“…[11121314151617] It can also be used in crisis management for all levels of providers. Medical students and residents can perform tasks and manage patient hemodynamics in a controlled, safe, simulation environment utilizing low- and high-fidelity task trainers or mannequins.…”
