High-Fidelity Simulation Meets Athletic Training Education: An Innovative Collaborative Teaching Project

Collaborative Education: an innovative method of teaching undergraduate nursing students

Incorporating high fidelity simulation into perfusion education.

The new Perfusion Simulation Center at the Medical University of South Carolina provides a new level of high fidelity simulation training for perfusion students. A key component is the Orpheus Perfusion Simulator which is a computer-driven simulator integrated with the mechanical connections of the heart-lung machine to allow for real time operative procedures and perfusion incidents. Due to th...

High-fidelity patient simulation in nursing education: an integrative review.

An integrative review was undertaken to analyze studies published since 1998 on the use of high-fidelity patient simulation (HFPS) in undergraduate nursing education. This review found that HFPS benefits nursing students in terms of knowledge, value, realism, and learner satisfaction;findings were mixed in the areas of student confidence, knowledge transfer, and stress. Further research in thes...

High-fidelity patient simulation in physiotherapy education.

Over the last 30 years, the medical profession has been following in the foot steps of the aviation industry by developing equipment and teaching styles to recreate, or simulate, patient scenarios for educational purposes. One of the first mannequins in simulation education was the cardiopulmonary resuscitation mannequin, used with nurses and medical professionals for basic life support trainin...

Evaluation of different teaching methods for FAST examination: high fidelity simulation versus traditional training

Background The Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) is used to identify free fluids. It is highly sensitive and specific if performed by experienced physicians. The most complex part of the learning curve is represented by the acquisition of adequate images for diagnostic purposes. Hence it is of primary importance to properly handle the ultrasound probe and to identify its corr...
