Medical debriefing
Title: Design and Evaluation of Simulation Scenarios for a Program Introducing Patient
Safety, Teamwork, Safety Leadership, and Simulation to Healthcare Leaders and Managers.
Citation: Simulation in Healthcare: The Journal of The Society for Medical Simulation,
August 2011, vol./is. 6/4(231-238), 1559-2332;1559-713X (2011 Aug)
Abstract: The authors developed a training program to introduce managers and informal
leaders of healthcare organizations to key concepts of teamwork, safety leadership, and
simulation to motivate them to act as leaders to improve safety within their sphere of
influence. This report describes the simulation scenario and debriefing that are core
elements of that program. Full text: Available in print from the Good Hope Simulation

Simulation and medical training
Title: The importance of expert feedback during endovascular simulator training.
Citation: Journal of Vascular Surgery, July 2011, vol./is. 54/1(240-248.e1), 0741-5214;10976809 (2011 Jul) Author(s): Boyle E, O'Keeffe DA, Naughton PA, Hill AD, McDonnell CO,
Moneley D
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Complex endovascular skills are difficult to obtain in the clinical
environment. Virtual reality (VR) simulator training is a valuable addition to current training
curricula, but is there a benefit in the absence of expert trainers. Full Text: Available in

Title: A randomized trial of simulation-based deliberate practice for infant lumbar puncture
skills.
Citation: Simulation in Healthcare: The Journal of The Society for Medical Simulation,
August 2011, vol./is. 6/4(197-203), 1559-2332;1559-713X (2011 Aug) Author(s): Kessler
DO, Auerbach M, Pusic M, Tunik MG, Foltin JC
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The objective is to demonstrate that deliberate practice
simulation-based training after audiovisual training (AV) improves infant LP skills compared
with a control group receiving AV training only. Full text: Available in print from the Good
Hope Simulation Centre.
Title: Evaluating the effectiveness of virtual reality simulation training in intravenous
cannulation.
Citation: Simulation in Healthcare: The Journal of The Society for Medical Simulation,
August 2011, vol./is. 6/4(213-7), 1559-2332;1559-713X (2011 Aug) Author(s): Loukas C,
Nikiteas N, Kanakis M, Georgiou E
Abstract: This article focuses on the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) simulation training
for intravenous (IV) cannulation. Full text: Available in print from the Good Hope Simulation
Centre.
Title: The "simulation roulette" game.
Citation: Simulation in Healthcare: The Journal of The Society for Medical Simulation,
August 2011, vol./is. 6/4(244-9), 1559-2332;1559-713X (2011 Aug) Author(s): Frederick HJ,
Corvetto MA, Hobbs GW, Taekman J
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: : "Simulation Roulette" is a new method of "on-the-fly"
simulation scenario creation that incorporates a game-like approach to critical scenarios and
emphasizes prescenario preparation. We designed it to complement our traditional
3
anesthesia simulation curriculum, in which residents are exposed to predefined "critical"
scenarios. Full text: Available in print from the Good Hope Simulation Centre.
Title: Psychomotor skills training in pediatric airway endoscopy simulation
Citation: Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, July 2011, vol./is. 145/1(43-50), 1097-6817 (Jul
2011) Author(s): Jabbour N., Reihsen T., Sweet R.M., Sidman J.D.
Abstract: To develop a robust psychomotor skills curriculum to teach pediatric airway
foreign body retrieval and to assess the effect of this curriculum on residents' confidence in
and ability to perform the complete task in an infant airway mannequin.
Title: Using medical simulation to teach crisis resource management and decision-making
skills to otolaryngology housestaff
Citation: Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, July 2011, vol./is. 145/1(35-42), 1097-6817 (Jul
2011) Author(s): Volk M.S., Ward J., Irias N., Navedo A., Pollart J., Weinstock P.H.
Abstract: The authors developed a course to use in situ high-fidelity medical simulation
(HFS) in an actual operating room (OR) to (1) teach teamwork and crisis resource
management (CRM) skills simultaneously to otolaryngology and anesthesia trainees and OR
nurses and (2) provide decision-making experience to ear, nose, and throat residents and
OR teams in simulated high-risk, low-frequency airway emergencies.
