Efficacy of Pre-Use Check Simulation
Preliminary data indicate that a screen-based simulation of the anesthesia machine pre-use check is effective in increasing the fault detection rate when subsequently performing a pre-use check on actual anesthesia machines.
Efficacy of Transparent Reality
In this published study, learners who trained with a transparent reality simulation of an anesthesia machine had a significantly enhanced understanding of anesthesia machine function compared to those who trained with a similar but opaque “blackbox” simulation.
Efficacy of Mixed Simulation of Central Venous Line Insertion
This study about the efficacy of a mixed simulation of central venous line insertion is ongoing.
Efficacy of Mixed Simulation of Ventriculostomy
This study about the efficacy of a mixed simulation of ventriculostomy is ongoing.
Efficacy of a Screen-Based Simulation of Skin Prepping
This joint study between Anesthesiology and Neurosurgery about the efficacy of a simulation of skin prepping and draping is ongoing.
Efficacy of SIMR Simulation
This study about the efficacy of a simulation of a self-inflating manual resuscitator is ongoing.
Efficacy of HLHS Simulation
This study about the efficacy of a mixed simulation of a baby suffering from hypoplastic left heart syndrome is ongoing.
