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? ORSIM demonstrated construct validity, with experts consistently outperforming novices and trainees in speed and blinded performance scores, plus predictive validity correlating simulator and clinical performance in novices. → McCarthy Roisin 2026
Evidence¶
McCarthy Roisin 2026¶
McCarthy Roisin, Maher Liam, O'Dea Angela. (2026). Validation status of definitive airway management simulators: a systematic review. BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bja.2026.01.027
q3 · i? · review · r3
Review synthesis of Baker (2016), an expert–novice discrimination study of the ORSIM VR bronchoscopy simulator (n=28 per Table 2). A second study (Wong 2019) provided predictive validity evidence, with simulator performance correlating with clinical performance in novices.
"One study demonstrated construct validity, showing that experts consistently outperformed novices and trainees in both speed and blinded performance scores, with high inter-rater reliability (>0.8)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Validation quality does not consistently correlate with simulator fidelity, and high-fidelity VR simulators' superiority over simpler models for fibreoptic intubation has not been demonstrated — 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
- Training on a simple low-fidelity 'choose-the-hole' bench model transferred to real clinical fibreoptic intubation performance in an RCT — related
- Most reviewed simulation studies demonstrated face and content validity, but few assessed construct or predictive validity — a broader claim this one bears on
