“…Different types of simulation technologies have different costs aggregated to them including training, equipment and systems, technicians, laboratory setup, maintenance and so on. In fact, the elevated costs of many simulation technologies has been a key criticism of medical training using simulation ( 51 , 52 ). Therefore, it is reasonable that researchers developing MCI studies using simulation consider their population needs, available resources and return on investment to determine which type of technology they will study and adopt.…”

BackgroundMass casualty incidents (MCIs) can occur as a consequence of a wide variety of events and often require overwhelming prehospital and emergency support and coordinated emergency response. A variety of disaster triage systems have been developed to assist health care providers in making difficult choices with regards to prioritization of victim treatment. The simple triage and rapid treatment (START) triage system is one of the most widely used triage algorithms; however, the research literature addressing real-world or simulation studies documenting the classification accuracy of personnel using START is lacking.Aims and ObjectivesTo explore the existing literature related to the current state of knowledge about studies assessing the classification accuracy of the START triage system.DesignScoping review based on Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework and narrative synthesis based on methods described by Popay and colleagues were performed.ResultsThe literature search identified 1,820 citations, of which 32 studies met the inclusion criteria. Thirty were peer-reviewed articles and 28 published in the last 10 years (i.e., 2010 and onward). Primary research studies originated in 13 countries and included 3,706 participants conducting triaging assessments involving 2,950 victims. Included studies consisted of five randomized controlled trials, 17 non-randomized controlled studies, eight descriptive studies, and two mixed-method studies. Simulation techniques, mode of delivery, contextual features, and participants' required skills varied among studies. Overall, there was no consistent reporting of outcomes across studies and results were heterogeneous. Data were extracted from the included studies and categorized into two themes: (1) typology of simulations and (2) START system in MCIs simulations. Each theme contains sub-themes regarding the development of simulation employing START as a system for improving individuals' preparedness. These include types of simulation training, settings, and technologies. Other sub-themes include outcome measures and reference standards.ConclusionThis review demonstrates a variety of factors impacting the development and implementation of simulation to assess characteristics of the START system. To further improve simulation-based assessment of triage systems, we recommend the use of reporting guidelines specifically designed for health care simulation research. In particular, reporting of reference standards and test characteristics need to improve in future studies.

“…8,12 In addition, because they use little technology, LCSs involve simple maintenance and reduced costs when compared to high-fidelity devices. 13 For this reason, LCSs have been adopted in different realities in the world and contributed to the teaching-learning process of students in the health area. 8,14 They are an economically feasible alternative, which expands the training opportunity not only for students, but also contributing to the technical improvement of workers in a safe and controlled environment, promoting safe learning, especially in the development of psychomotor skills.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Conhecer a percepção de estudantes de enfermagem sobre a contribuição do uso do simulador de baixo custo no desenvolvimento de habilidades técnicas para o cateterismo periférico venoso. Método Estudo descritivo de abordagem qualitativa, realizado em universidade pública do sul do Brasil com 25 estudantes de enfermagem. Os dados foram coletados em 2019, por meio de questionário acerca do cateterismo periférico venoso, desenvolvido com apoio de simulador de baixo custo. Para análise, seguiu-se a proposta operativa de Minayo. Resultados A partir dos dados, surgiram duas categorias. 1) Desenvolvimento de habilidades para cateterismo periférico venoso: os estudantes apontaram que o uso do simulador possibilita compreender cada etapa do procedimento e identificar onde precisam aperfeiçoar a técnica, preparando-os para o contato com o paciente. 2) Dificuldades encontradas na utilização do simulador de baixo custo. Os estudantes destacaram a baixa fidelidade do simulador e a limitação do treinamento por simulação sem comunicação. Conclusões e implicações para a prática Os estudantes percebem o simulador de baixo custo como uma relevante ferramenta para o desenvolvimento de habilidades do cateterismo periférico venoso, sugerem seu aperfeiçoamento para aumentar a fidelidade e a incorporação da comunicação no momento da punção para o maior realismo da experiência simulada.

“…2 To mitigate these incidents, many hospitals try to improve the performance of their staff with educational strategies through clinical simulation. 3 Although clinical simulation is widely disseminated in academia, it is still little used in training and capacity building with trained healthcare professionals. 4 Its use has been growing in healthcare institutions, with the purpose of providing support for the development of skills and competencies of healthcare teams.…”

Objetivo: analisar a percepção dos técnicos de enfermagem sobre o cuidado em terapia nutricional enteral, durante um cenário de simulação clínica. Método: estudo qualitativo, com base em um cenário de simulação clínica, realizado com 64 técnicos de enfermagem, em um hospital universitário do Sul do Brasil, em agosto de 2017. As falas foram audiogravadas, transcritas e, posteriormente, submetidas a análise de conteúdo. Resultados: foram evidenciadas quatro categorias sobre o cuidado em terapia nutricional enteral nas etapas de: administração da TNE; manutenção da sonda nasoenteral; registros de enfermagem e orientações ao paciente em uso de TNE. Conclusão: refletir sobre o cuidado prestado, por meio de um cenário de simulação clínica, pode colaborar com melhorias acerca do processo de trabalho da equipe de enfermagem e com o fortalecimento e segurança dos cuidados prestados.
