q2 · i? · review · r2

Review reports on one included study (Thomsen): significant improvement of OSACSS in novices and intermediate trainees after a validated simulator test; results were not significant for experienced and expert trainees. No effect size printed.

"The other study reported significant improvement of OSACSS in novices and intermediate trainees after performing a validated test on the simulator. Results were not significant for experienced and expert trainees [23]."
