Impact of Simulation-based Mastery Learning on Resident Skill Managing Mechanical Ventilators.

ABSTRACT: Background: Caring for patients requiring mechanical ventilation is complex, and residents may lack adequate skill for managing these patients. Simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) is an educational model that trains clinicians to a high standard and can reduce complications. The mastery learning model has not been applied to ventilator management. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether SBML, as compared with traditional training, is an effective strategy for teaching residents the skills necessary to manage patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Methods: We developed an SBML curriculum and a 47-item skills checklist to test ventilator management for patients with normal, restricted, and obstructed lung physiology. A minimum passing stand
