Background: We aimed to measure the effect of a 2-day structured paediatric simulation-based training (SBT) on basic and advanced airway management during simulated paediatric resuscitations.
Methods: Standardised paediatric high-fidelity SBT was conducted in 12 of the 15 children's hospitals in Hesse, Germany. Before and after the SBT the study participants took part in two study scenarios (PRE and POST scenario), which were recorded using an audio-video system.
(1) Background: To improve the quality of emergency care for children, the Hessian Ministry for Social Affairs and Integration offered paediatric simulation-based training (SBT) for all children's hospitals in Hesse. We investigated the quality of paediatric life support (PLS) in simulated paediatric resuscitations before and after SBT. (2) Methods: In 2017, a standardised, high-fidelity, two-day in-house SBT was conducted in 11 children's hospitals.

Team performance must be observed, analyzed, and evaluated by trained raters. The structured training of medical students for the assessment of simulated pediatric emergencies has not yet been investigated.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) provide useful information about correct and incorrect answers, but they do not offer information about students' confidence.
Methods: Ninety and another 81 medical students participated each in a curricular neurology multiple-choice exam and indicated their confidence for every single MCQ. Each MCQ had a defined level of potential clinical impact on patient safety (uncritical, risky, harmful).
Article Synopsis
- Practical skills in medicine are usually assessed through Objective Structured Clinical Skill Exams (OSCE), but there is no uniform standard for passing among different medical faculties in Germany.
- Standardized OSCE stations for knee and shoulder examinations were created, with agreed learning objectives and independent scoring by reference examiners across five medical faculties.
- Results showed significant performance differences between faculties, with varying average scores and weak correlations to licensing exam results and prior joint examination lessons, indicating inconsistency in clinical skill assessment.
