Overview

Systematic review shows simulation-based training enhances knowledge in healthcare providers, indicating it benefits pandemic preparedness.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the efficacy of simulation-based training for airway management in COVID-19 patients.
  • Conducted a systematic literature search of multiple databases
  • Analyzed studies using a random-effects model
  • Calculated change scores for confidence and knowledge assessments
  • Included 20 studies after screening 141 articles
  • Showed significant improvements in confidence and knowledge post-training
  • Identified publication bias indicated by funnel plot asymmetry
