Simulation Platforms to Train and Assess Pediatric Acute Care Procedural Skills: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medical trainees have limited opportunities to practice certain pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) procedures in the clinical setting. Simulation-based education provides an opportunity for trainees to improve their technical and non-technical skills. This scoping review aimed to explore the ways in which simulation has been used to train and assess medical learners.

Methods

A search was conducted from 2011 to August 2022 using MEDLINE, OVID Embase, OVID Emcare, and Cochrane Trials, among others. The review included empirical studies that used simulation for training medical trainees in four essential pediatric procedures: intubation, lumbar puncture, intraosseous insertion, and chest tube insertion. Six reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full
