“…The study characteristics are presented in the Table 1. Most of the studies on simulation-based training were developed in response to SARS-CoV-2 (n = 117, 79.1%) 6–8,16–128 . Eighteen were motivated by Ebola outbreaks (12.2%), 129–146 7 by influenza (4.7%), 147–153 3 by MERS (2%), 154–156 and 3 by pandemics in general (2%) 157–159 …”

Summary StatementThe objective of this research was to identify and review studies that have evaluated the impact of simulation-based training on health care professionals during epidemics.All studies in health care simulation-based training published during the last 5 epidemics with a global impact (SARS-CoV, H1N1, MERS, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2; through July 2021) were selected from a systematic search of PUBMED, EMBASE, and key journals.The search strategy identified 274 studies; 148 met the inclusion criteria and were included. Most of the studies were developed in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 117, 79.1%), used a descriptive approach (n = 54, 36.5%), and were used to train technical skills (n = 82, 55.4%).This review demonstrates a growing interest in publications related to health care simulation and epidemics. Most of the literature is marked by limited study designs and outcome measurements, although there is a trend toward the use of more refined methodologies in the most recent publications. Further research should seek the best evidence-based instructional strategies to design training programs in preparation for future outbreaks.

“…During the pandemic, novel solutions to visualize viral spread have used either airborne particle measurements or fluorescent particles such as GloGerm (Moab, UT) under blacklight [8][9][10][11]. However, the airborne particle measurements are not optimal in a room with substantial human movement such as during a resuscitation.…”

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, mannequin models have been developed to mimic viral spread using fluorescent particles. These models use contraptions such as a spray gun or an exploding latex balloon to emanate a sudden acceleration of particles, simulating a "cough" reflex. No models have been developed to mimic passive aerosolization of viral particles during a cardiopulmonary arrest simulation. Our novel approach to aerosolization of simulated viral spread allows for a continuous flow of particles, which allows us to maintain components of high-fidelity team-based simulations. Our simulated model emanated GloGerm (Moab, UT) from the respiratory tract using a continuous nebulization chamber. Uniquely, the construction of our apparatus allowed for the ability to perform full, simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation scenarios (such as chest compressions, bag-mask ventilation, and endotracheal intubation) on a high-fidelity mannequin while visualizing potential contamination spread at the conclusion of the simulation.Positive feedback from users included the ability to visualize particulate contamination after cardiopulmonary resuscitations in the context of personal protective equipment usage and roles in resuscitation (i.e. physician, respiratory therapist, nurse). Negative criticism towards the simulation included the lack of certain high-fidelity feedback markers of the mannequin (auscultating breath sounds and checking pulses) due to the construction of the particle aerosolization mechanism.
