Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Eleven of 14 included studies reported significant improvements in more than one-half of their outcome measures after FB SBT. → Gerretsen Eveline C.F. MSc 2023

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Systematic review of 14 studies of FB SBT for novice trainees (pretest-posttest, two-group nonrandomized, and randomized designs). The review reports that "Eleven studies reported significant improvements in more than one-half of their outcome measures," with heterogeneous outcome measures; no pooled effect size was computed.
"Eleven studies reported significant improvements in more than one-half of their outcome measures. Outcome measures were heterogeneous, ranging from simulator metrics (eg, percentage of time in midlumen) to (validated) bronchoscopy assessment tool end scores."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The highest-quality FB SBT studies with the most relevant outcomes shared curriculum integration and a gradual increase in task difficulty — related
- AccuTouch VR simulator training improved live fibreoptic intubation performance in inexperienced paediatric residents, reducing time to intubation from 5.15 to 0.88 minutes — related
- Evidence that FB SBT improves bronchoscopy performance in a patient setting (Kirkpatrick level 3) is sparse and conflicting — related
- Simulation-based training significantly improves surgical trainees' time to completion, technical errors, skills scores and theoretical knowledge in heart valve surgery — a broader claim this one bears on
