The quality of a simulation examination using a high-fidelity child manikin

Abstract

With a carefully designed rating instrument and simulation operation, the manikin-based simulation examination was shown to be reliable and valid. However, a further refinement of the test instrument will be required for higher stake examinations.

Comparison of high‐ and low‐fidelity mannequins for clinical performance assessment

“…Although some studies have shown validity of the use of high‐fidelity mannequin in the assessment process, 14,15 their results are not translatable to our study because of the differences in methodology and scoring technique. Larger studies are required to conclusively prove validity than just mere pilot studies.…”

“…High‐fidelity mannequins have potential advantages as educational tools 10,11 or assessment tools 12–14 . This is a pilot study specifically looking at the use of high‐ vs .…”

“…High-fidelity mannequins have potential advantages as educational tools 10,11 or assessment tools. [12][13][14] This is a pilot study specifically looking at the use of high-vs. low-fidelity mannequin in the assessment process. This is particularly relevant in courses, such as APLS or other medical training courses.…”

Neuro-Critical Care Skills Training Using a Human Patient Simulator

“…Scores on a global evaluation system rated independently by several evaluators are both reliable and valid. In particular, the validity has repeatedly been shown for use of a patient simulator as a performance evaluation tool [3,6,8,[10][11][12][13]. This highlights the appropriateness and worth of simulation training to critical care training in general.…”

Simulation technology in training students, residents and faculty

“…The authors went further, to comment that simulation would be a useful tool to overcome some of these deficiencies for individuals and teams. In another paediatric study [15], residents took part in high-fidelity child manikin-based simulation. The study assessed resident performances, examining the validity and reliability of the process.…”
