Simulation Clinical Studies
Clinical studies
Our products have featured in a variety of clinical studies to assess the value of simulation and artificial intelligence in advancing ultrasound.
Transthoracic echocardiography simulation is an efficient method to train anesthesiologists in basic transthoracic echocardiography skills
Jacques Neelankavil, MD, Kimberly Howard-Quijano, MD, Tyken C. Hsieh, MD, Davinder Ramsingh, MD, Jennifer C. Scovotti, MA, Jason H. Chua, MD, Jonathan K. Ho, MD, and Aman Mahajan, MD, PhD HeartWorks | This prospective randomized study demonstrated that anesthesiology residents trained with simulation acquired better skills in TTE image acquisition and anatomy identification on volunteer subjects. The educational benefit of simulation […]
Utility of a transesophageal echocardiographic simulator as a teaching tool
Bose RR, Matyal R, Warraich HJ, Summers J, Subramaniam B, Mitchell J, Panzica PJ, Shahul S, Mahmood F HeartWorks | The simulator-based teaching model for transesophageal echocardiography is a better method of teaching the basic concepts of transesophageal echocardiography like anatomic correlation, structure identification, and image acquisition…
Expert evaluation of a novel transoesophageal echocardiography simulator
L.A. Smith, A. Bhan, M. Paul, M.J. Monaghan, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK HeartWorks | Expert evaluation of a novel TOE simulator has demonstrated excellent face and content validity, as well as exciting potential as a training tool, particularly with respect to the understanding of probe handling and spatial relationships…
Evaluating the ORSIM simulator for assessment of anaesthetists’ skills in flexible bronchoscopy: aspects of validity and reliability
Baker PA, Weller JM, Baker MJ, Hounsell GL, Scott J, Gardiner PJ, et al. OrSim | Results provide initial evidence on the validity and reliability of the ORSIM bronchoscopy simulator, supporting its potential value in training and assessment.
The effect of virtual reality bronchoscopy simulator training on performance of bronchoscopic-guided intubation in patients: a randomised controlled trial
Wong DT, Mehta A, Singh KP, Leong SM, Ooi A, Niazi A, et al OrSim | Post training performance of FOB intubation, as measured by intubation time and GRS, improved in Group SIM, while it was unchanged in the Group CON. The ORSIM simulator may be a useful adjunct in acquiring FOB intubation skills.
Training on a new, portable, simple simulator transfers to performance of complex bronchoscopy procedures
Krogh CL, Konge L, Bjurstrom J, Ringsted C OrSim | Virtual-reality (VR) simulation provides a safe and effective learning environment prior to practicing on patients. The effect of a brief, self-directed training session using a portable, simple simulator was substantial and transferred to performance of more complex skills.
Fibreoptic airway endoscopy training: comparison of three different trainer models
Vaidyanath C, Sharma M, Mendonca C OrSim | The participants agreed that the ORSIM improved hand-eye coordination, which is an essential component of fibreoptic endoscopy training. This study demonstrated that when fibreoptic endoscopic training is provided using these models, the advantages of the dynamic component become more evident.
Fibreoptic tracheal intubation training using bronchoscopy simulation
Badiger S, Fearnley A, Ahmad I OrSim | With the results of the questionnaire and feedback from trainees, we feel that simulation is a valuable addition to our existing training methods and the advantages of ORSIM specifically are its portability, ease of use and its high definition graphics in a range of difficult airway scenarios.
Randomised comparison of ORSIM™ bronchoscopy simulator and Dexter® endoscopy trainer in improving fibreoptic endoscopy skills of anaesthetic trainees
Ungureanu N, Vaidyanah C, Mendonca C OrSim | ORSIM® bronchoscopy simulator offered an advantage in terms of time taken to complete the endoscopy on patients…
Sustained effect of simulation-based ultrasound training on clinical performance: a randomized trial
Martin G. Tolsgaard, Charlotte Ringsted, Eva Dreisler, Lone N. Nørgaard, Jørgen H. Petersen, Mette E. Madsen, Nina L.C. Freiesleben, Jette L. Sørensen, Ann Tabor ScanTrainer | The objective was to study the effect of initial simulation-based transvaginal ultrasound training compared to only clinical training on the clinical performances of residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN) measured at two months into […]
