Introduction: A cricothyroidotomy is an emergency procedurethat few emergency medicine residents see or perform duringtheir training. Therefore, there is a need for low cost, high fidelitymodels for training. In this study, we explore a new training modelfor cricothyroidotomies (the bleeding CRIC [cost-effective realisticinteractive cricothyroidotomy]) to determine...

The pursuit of efficiency in training systems design whilst simultaneously maximising transfer of training and the depth of training outcome presents a number of challenges for the curriculum designer. The recent developments in low-cost desktop simulation and training have the potential to offer much to the simulation-based curriculum. There exists considerable research evidence suggesting tha...

High fidelity simulation has become a popular technique for training teamwork skills in high risk industries such as aviation, health care, and nuclear power production. Simulation is a powerful training tool because it allows the trainer to systematically control the schedule of practice, presentation of feedback, and introduction (or suppression) of environmental distractions within a safe, c...

BACKGROUND Airway management and endotracheal intubation are essential skills for pediatric residents. Simulation-based technology is used for training residents but it remains unclear whether high fidelity simulation results in better retention of skills compared to low fidelity. The study assesses high fidelity simulation of endotracheal intubation and traditional low fidelity training in imp...

-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) has been widely used in both military and civilian fields in recent years. With the development of UAV, high quality training for the UAV operators on the ground is necessary and urgent, the fidelity of simulation training system is very important, the fidelity training system can simulate the flying environment on the sky, the flying simulation software is the co...

Flexible bronchoscopy is a common procedure. Training in bronchoscopy is a complex process involving learning technical skills, understanding indications and contraindications, risks and benefits of the procedure, working within the team and communicating with patients. It is expected that a competent bronchoscopist is able to maneuver the scope through the anatomically complex bronchial tree, ...
