Effectiveness of Simulation- Versus Didactic Video-Based Learning to Teach Advanced Lung Isolation Techniques

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Although greater affective learning of advanced lung isolation skills occurred with simulation-based compared to didactic video-based education, the authors found no differences between the teaching approaches in cognitive and psychomotor learning among anesthesiology fellows.

Population
Anesthesiology fellows with equivalent prior experience in basic lung isolation techniques, single academic heart center

Primary endpoint
Learning of advanced lung isolation techniques (Bloom's taxonomy domains): change in affective survey and cognitive test scores (pre- to postintervention) and postintervention psychomotor task (time to complete lung isolation)
