Randomized controlled trial comparing dynamic simulation with static simulation in trauma

Abstract

Training on a dynamic simulator resulted in noninferior time to completion of vascular shunt placement compared with training on a cadaver. The addition of dynamic hemorrhage to simulators might inexpensively augment trauma skills training.

Simulation in Upper and Lower Limb Trauma Skill Acquisition

“…In this review, 11 of the studies described full-task trainers 35,38,40,55,65,66,68,70,72–75 and 52 described a part-task trainer who focused on a particular part of the procedure 13–34,36,37,39,41–54,56–64,67,69,71,73 …”

“…Fifteen studies described the cost of the simulator 13,19,23,30,39–41,46,47,50,59,61,63,66,67,70 . Skin pad ranged from US $0.4 to $10.…”

A vascularized emergency trauma amputation simulator for surgical skills training

“…22 Simulation using synthetic models is a wellestablished, effective tool to develop technical skills transferable to an operating room for a surgical trainee. [25][26][27][28][29] Simulation training has become particularly important because hands-on clinical time is limited in the COVID-19 era. For medical students, immersion in a clinical scenario is likely to promote durable retention of skills through increased global alertness and engagement in the mock trauma training session.…”
