Subclaims¶

q2 i? Niazi et al. found a 1‐hour simulation using multiple learning strategies and repetitive practice significantly increased self‐reported block success versus didactics alone. → Sekhavati P 2025 q2 i? Cai et al. found an AI‐assisted nerve identification system decreased patient complication rates versus traditional teaching on part‐task trainers. → Sekhavati P 2025 (2)

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

The review reports, citing Niazi et al., a comparison of simulation with "multiple learning strategies (didactics plus simulation) and repetitive practice" against didactics alone, showing a significant increase in self‐reported block success.

"Niazi et al. compared the effectiveness of a 1‐hour simulation that utilised multiple learning strategies (didactics plus simulation) and repetitive practice to didactics alone on a part‐task trainer, and showed a significant increase in self‐reported block success [25]."

The review reports, citing Cai et al., that an "artificial intelligence‐assisted nerve identification system for simulated education decreased patient complication rates compared with traditional teaching on part‐task trainers".
