Advanced airway management is an essential skill that can be difficult to achieve and maintain. Researchers performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational and controlled studies that evaluated use of technology-enhanced simulation training for advanced airway management (direct laryngoscopy, fiber-optic intubation, surgical airway, and supraglottic airway). The analysis included 76 studies that involved a total of 5226 health professionals (physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians, and students).
Compared with no intervention, simulation training resulted in improved knowledge and skills, but not improved clinical behavior or patient outcomes. Compared with nonsimulation training (e.g., self-study, video, lecture),…
