Educational efficacy of high-fidelity simulation in neonatal resuscitation training: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-019-1763-z

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of three RCTs comparing high-fidelity with low-fidelity simulation on skill performance. The pooled effect size was SMD = 0.64 (95% CI 0.06–1.21), a moderate benefit, with heterogeneity I2 = 63%.

"Three RCTs [10, 14, 28] measured the skill performance and found a moderate benefit with high-fidelity simulation when compared with low-fidelity simulation (SMD 0.64; 95% CI 0.06–1.21)"

q3 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of three RCTs comparing high-fidelity with low-fidelity simulation on neonatal resuscitation knowledge. The pooled effect size was SMD = 0.39 (95% CI 0.08–0.71), a small benefit.

"the pooled results by meta-analysis showed a small benefit with high-fidelity simulation when compared with low-fidelity simulation (SMD 0.39; 95% CI 0.08–0.71)"
