AI Article Synopsis
- - Simulation-based training improves knowledge and skills in obstetric and gynecologic emergencies, but challenges like the need for simulation experts and effective measurements of team performance exist.
- - A study involving 151 medical professionals assessed the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) during high-fidelity simulations, confirming its strong reliability and validity for evaluating teamwork components such as leadership and management.
- - The TEAM shows promise as a useful tool for assessing non-technical performance in emergency scenarios, which can ultimately lead to better patient outcomes.
Article Abstract
Background: Simulation-based training is an effective method of enhancing the knowledge, skill, and technical abilities of individuals and teams encountering obstetric and gynaecologic emergencies. Simulation may also enhance the non-technical performance of teams resulting in improved patient outcomes. Although simulation-based training is widely recognised as an effective educational approach, issues around feasibility - the lack of simulation experts and malleable outcome measures of team performance - remain critical barriers to their implementation.
Aim: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) when used by medical professionals in simulated obstetric and gynaecological emergencies.
Methods: There were 151 participants (63% female; 60% consultants; 69% no previous simulation-based training) who observed three live high-fidelity obstetric and gynaecological resuscitation simulations and completed the TEAM.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis evaluated the construct validity of the TEAM, yielding a second-order structure identified by 'leadership', 'teamwork', and 'team management'. Convergent validity was supported by the average item-to-scale total correlation which was 0.75, P < 0.001 and the average analysis of variance extracted (AVE) 0.88. The individual factors also yielded high factor-to-scale total correlations (mean [M] = 0.87), and AVE (M = 0.89). The internal reliability was high for the whole scale (average alpha = 0.92) and across the sub-factors (average alpha = 0.80). The inter-rater reliability was excellent (inter-class correlation coefficient 1 = 0.98). Participants with differing levels of simulation training experience did not significantly differ.
Conclusion: The TEAM is a viable instrument for the assessment of non-technical performance during simulated obstetric and gynaecologic emergencies, thus enhancing the feasibility of simulation-based training.

This study combines experimental techniques and mathematical modeling to investigate the dynamics of C. elegans body-wall muscle cells. Specifically, by conducting voltage clamp and mutant experiments, we identify key ion channels, particularly the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (EGL-19) and potassium channels (SHK-1, SLO-2), which are crucial for generating action potentials.

Intro: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical tool in the care of severe cardiorespiratory dysfunction. Simulation training for ECMO has become standard practice. Therefore, Keck Medicine of the University of California (USC) holds simulation-training sessions to reinforce and improve providers knowledge.

Background: Examination maneuvers used to diagnose developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) translate poorly to video and written curricula. This poses a challenge to teaching the infant hip exam to orthopedic, family medicine, and pediatric trainees. This work investigated the impact of the MiHip simulation-based training program on residents' knowledge, confidence, and exam skills in the simulated setting, and translation of these skills to the clinical setting.

Introduction: Recent health crises, like COVID-19, have increased the need for nurses with public health competencies, but students lack knowledge and are unconvinced of the importance of the field.
Methods: Pre-licensure nursing students (n = 341) engaged with a public health simulation-infused program (PHSIP) that scaffolded throughout the curriculum. Public health knowledge was tested pre- and post-simulation-based education (SBE), and the simulation effectiveness tool-modified (SET-M) was used to evaluate Learners' perception of the SBE experience.
