The impact of SimMan on resident training in emergency skills

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of SimMan in resident training of emergency skills.Forty-five 1st year medical residents were selected for this study. All participants were divided into groups and each participant performed different roles during training. Clinical cases were selected using the tutor mode/auto mode in the SimMan computer system in order to train and assess each group. A pre-test was administered to the 45 residents before emergency medical technician (EMT) skill training. Finally, a post-test was conducted with SimMan after training. Tutors scored the student's performance and recorded the overall time for the procedure.Before training, the overall qualification rate was 44.44%. The average score of the 9 groups was 62.78 ± 8.84 and the average 1st aid duration was 519.22 ± 34.35 seconds. After the training, the overall qualification rate was 100%. The average score of the 9 groups was 80.89 ± 7.39. The average 1st aid duration was 453.56 ± 24.40 seconds. The P values in comparing pre- and post-training data were .009, <.001 and <.001.An integrated learning approach using SimMan as a tool for training and examination can help training residents develop emergency skills, teamwork, and communication.

Simulação realística e gamificação em primeiros socorros para o curso de Fisioterapia

“…No trabalho de Peng et al 14 , 95,5% dos alunos relataram satisfação com o ensino baseado em simulação, e no trabalho de Liu et al 15 , 100% dos participantes ficaram satisfeitos com o mesmo método de ensino. Essa satisfação ocorre porque o ensino baseado em simulação permite o treino de competências processuais e tarefas únicas, a partir da criação de situações-problema (cenários clínicos) pelo docente e a resolução por etapas pelos acadêmicos com possibilidade de repetições, em um ambiente simulado.…”

Exploration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation teamwork training for maternal cardiac arrest using the SimMan intelligent simulation platform: A simulation teaching study

“…In recent years, intelligent integrated medical simulation teaching has played an increasingly important role in the clinical skill training of physicians, and the use of IS for skill training of healthcare workers can significantly improve their mastery of medical knowledge and skills, medical behavior, and quality. 8 , 17 By writing and simulating clinical emergency cases, SimMan can simulate “real” clinical cases and realistic emergency scenarios, thus creating a fully functional, simulated, comprehensive emergency teaching environment for physicians. This allows physicians to actively participate in skills training, identify and solve problems, exercise clinical thinking abilities, and narrow the gap between classroom theory teaching and clinical practice.…”

“…Therefore, training obstetricians in team CPR skills is essential as it directly affects the outcome and prognosis of maternal resuscitation treatment. Conventional training and teaching methods can no longer meet the training needs in these new situations 8 and the use of intelligent simulation (IS) technology for teaching first‐aid skills has compensated for the lack of practical opportunities in clinical practice. 9 The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of applying IS to CPR of maternal cardiac arrest teamwork training for obstetricians, to develop training methods, and to improve clinical competency.…”

Virtual Case-Based Learning: Nova Estratégia de Ensino e de Treinamento Médico Digital Humanizado em Cardiologia

“…Ao ingressar no campo clínico, os estudantes de medicina deparam-se com inúmeras condições que exigem a aplicação integrada do conhecimento teórico e habilidades práticas, associada ao desenvolvimento da humanização e empatia com o paciente para a garantia de um cuidado integral. 12 Estudos corroboram 12,13 que modelos tradicionais de ensinoaprendizagem não têm atendido aos requisitos do ambiente contemporâneo da realidade médica, em que há uma lacuna entre a formação e a prática clínica integral humanizada.…”

“…O ensino médico digital está desempenhando um papel cada vez mais importante no treinamento do conhecimento e habilidades clínicas para estudantes de medicina. 13 Atualmente, nenhuma simulação retrata de forma realista todos os componentes fisiológicos, mentais e comportamentais do atendimento ao paciente. 16 Por isso, o reconhecimento da autoconfiança e da satisfação dos alunos ao participar de novas estratégias contribui para o aperfeiçoamento destas.…”
