Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Compared with traditional training, high-fidelity simulation shows a large benefit in skill performance (SMD 1.63; 95% CI 0.49–2.77) with high heterogeneity (I2 = 90%). → Huang Jichong 2019 q3 i2 Compared with traditional training, high-fidelity simulation shows a moderate benefit in neonatal resuscitation knowledge (SMD 0.69; 95% CI 0.42–0.96). → Huang Jichong 2019 (2)

Evidence¶

Huang Jichong 2019¶

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 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of three RCTs comparing high-fidelity simulation with traditional training. The pooled skill-performance effect size was SMD = 1.63 (95% CI 0.49–2.77), a large benefit favoring high-fidelity simulation, with heterogeneity I2 = 90%.

"The pooled results by meta-analysis showed a large benefit with high-fidelity simulation when compared with traditional training in skill performance (SMD 1.63; 95% CI 0.49–2.77)"

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of the same three RCTs comparing high-fidelity simulation with traditional training on neonatal resuscitation knowledge. The pooled effect size was SMD = 0.69 (95% CI 0.42–0.96), a moderate benefit.

"a moderate benefit in neonatal resuscitation knowledge (SMD 0.69; 95% CI 0.42–0.96) with high-fidelity simulation when compared with traditional training"
