Randomized Controlled TrialHigh-fidelity medical simulation as a technique to improve pediatric residents' emergency airway management and teamwork: a pilot study.
High-fidelity medical simulation is a technique used for training residents. Simulation is used to teach procedural skills and teamwork. There are limited data on the efficacy of this educational technique. We hypothesize that simulation is effective for teaching pediatric residents airway skills and teamwork. ⋯ This study supports simulation-enhanced educational strategies for improving performance and teamwork skills. This technique is effective in teaching pediatric residents airway skills and teamwork fundamentals required to efficiently manage an acute airway situation.
