About this study
This observational study aims to describe the situation in Europe regarding simulation training during residency in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care. The main questions it aims to answer are:
How many countries in Europe have obligatory simulation training during residency? How frequent is this training? What and how is trained during simulations? How is the situation regarding funding and participation in working hours in simulation training? What are the obstacles for the countries that do not have obligatory training? Participants will fill out an electronic survey.
Read the detailed description
Postgraduate education is frequently discussed in various aspects. Simulations are modern and effective tools for medical education and training during residency in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, and are no exception. Three years ago, the survey mapped the situation of simulation-based training as an obligatory part of the residency curriculum. Now, we would like to describe the progress and identify possible factors that are preventing the further spread of simulations into postgraduate education.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
How many European countries have some type of simulation training included in the postgraduate curriculum?
This study aims to explore how many European countries have some sort of simulation included in postgraduate training. The optional or obligatory training both included.
Measured: 3 monts.
How many European countries have obligatory simulation training in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care?

Measured: 3 monts
What role does AI play in simulation training?
The study aims to explore the role of AI in simulation training in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care in Europe.
Measured: 3 months.
Specification of simulation training
This study aims to describe what simulation modalities (low fidelity simulation, high fidelity simulation, etc.) are used in different European countries. Also, the themes covered by simulation training are explored.
Measured: 3 months

What does the primary outcome measure?
How many European countries have some type of simulation training included in the postgraduate curriculum? (time frame: 3 monts.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07110012, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
