ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction: In recent decades, the level of skiing performance in Russia has decreased significantly. This has necessitated problems with the preparation of athletes for competitions and the training process. Objective: To analyze the effects of simulation training tools on the physical condition of ski racers aged 13-14 years. Methods: Quasi-experimental, non-randomized study. 40 cross-country skiers aged 13-14 years belonging to the Korshik Village sports school (Russia) were assigned to a control (n = 20) and experimental (n = 20) group. Classes in the control group were conducted according to the usual training plan and in the experimental group simulation exercises were used. The control tests included pull-ups, squats, two-legged long jump, simulated 100-meter climbing and a 500-meter running test. Results: The control group showed no significant improvements (p > 0.05), while the experimental group reported significant improvements in pull-ups (22.2%; p< 0.05), squat (5.9%; p< 0.05), two-legged long jump (6.8%; p< 0.05), 100-meter climbing simulation (7.8%; p< 0.05) and 500-meter run (4.2 %, p <0.05). Conclusion: If, in the preparatory period, a series of simulation exercises are included in the training program for skiers aged 13-14 years, the level of physical fitness of athletes will improve significantly.
Resumen Introducción: En las últimas décadas, el nivel de rendimiento del esquí en Rusia ha disminuido significativamente. Esto plantea nuevos desafíos en la preparación de los atletas para las competiciones y el proceso de entrenamiento. Objetivo: Analizar los efectos de las herramientas de entrenamiento por simulación sobre la condición física de corredores de esquí de entre 13 y 14 años. Métodos: Estudio cuasiexperimental, no aleatorizado. 40 esquiadores de fondo de entre 13 y 14 años pertenecientes a la escuela deportiva Korshik Village (Rusia) fueron asignados a un grupo control (n=20) y experimental (n=20). Las clases en el grupo de control se llevaron a cabo según el plan de entrenamiento habitual y en el grupo experimental se utilizaron ejercicios de simulación. Las pruebas de control incluyen dominadas, sentadillas, salto de longitud con dos piernas, escalada simulada de 100 metros y una prueba de carrera de 500 metros. Resultados: El grupo control no presentó mejoras significativas (p>0,05), mientras que el grupo experimental reportó mejoras significativas en dominadas (22,2%; p<0,05), sentadilla (5,9%; p<0,05), salto de longitud a dos piernas (6,8%; p<0,05), simulación de escalada de 100 metros (7,8%; p<0,05) y carrera de 500 metros (4,2%; p<0,05). Conclusión: Si en el periodo preparatorio se incluye una serie de ejercicios de simulación en el programa de entrenamiento para esquiadores de 13-14 años, el nivel de condición física de los deportistas mejorará significativamente.

Introducción: El paro cardiorrespiratorio puede revertirse con medidas de reanimación en menos de 20 por ciento de los casos, si es atendido por un equipo entrenado en el curso de soporte vital avanzado pediátrico. A pesar de la masiva implementación de este entrenamiento y actualizaciones técnicas, la supervivencia no ha mejorado en la última década. El aprendizaje de habilidades no técnicas es uno de los temas a profundizar como estrategia para mejorar la sobrevida. Objetivo: Examinar la evidencia disponible sobre la percepción de los participantes del curso como escenario de entrenamiento para las habilidades no técnicas. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión de la literatura entre octubre de 2020 y mayo de 2021. Se identificaron los términos utilizados en habilidades no técnicas, se convirtieron en términos MeSH. Se realizó una búsqueda avanzada en las bases de datos PUBMED y ERIC. Análisis y síntesis de la información: Se revisaron 11 artículos en los que se describen las percepciones de médicos, pediatras y enfermeras sobre las características de un líder efectivo, factores que influyen en el trabajo en equipo coordinado, la importancia de una comunicación efectiva y tener una adecuada conciencia de la situación en distintos escenarios de reanimación como trauma, urgencias y cuidado crítico. Además, las recomendaciones de los participantes sobre la simulación como herramienta de aprendizaje dichas habilidades. Conclusiones: Las habilidades no técnicas agrupadas en las categorías de liderazgo, comunicación, trabajo en equipo y conciencia de la situación, son percibidas como pilar fundamental en el funcionamiento y desenlace de la reanimación cardiopulmonar(AU)
Introduction: Cardiorespiratory arrest can be reversed with resuscitation measures in less than 20 percent of cases, if it is attended by a team trained in the pediatric advanced life support course. Despite the massive implementation of this training and technical updates, survival has not improved in the last decade. The learning of non-technical skills is one of the topics to be deepened as a strategy to improve survival. Objective: To examine the available evidence on the perception of course participants as a training scenario for non-technical skills. Methods: A literature review was conducted between October 2020 and May 2021. The terms used in non-technical skills were identified, they became MeSH terms. It was conducted an advanced search of the PUBMED and ERIC databases. Analysis and synthesis of information: 11 articles that describe the perceptions of doctors, pediatricians and nurses about the characteristics of an effective leader, factors that influence coordinated teamwork, the importance of effective communication and having an adequate awareness of the situation in different resuscitation scenarios such as trauma, emergencies and critical care were reviewed; and, the recommendations of the participants on simulation as a learning tool of these skills.

Introducción: La capsulotomía láser representa el único tratamiento efectivo para tratar la opacidad de cápsula posterior -causa más común de disminución de la visión después de una cirugía de catarata-. Este proceder es sencillo, pero no exento de complicaciones. Hasta ahora su aprendizaje se realiza directamente en los pacientes. El uso de simuladores permite el aprendizaje de la técnica sin dañar al paciente y sin la obligada presencia del profesor. Objetivo: Validar la confección de un modelo de ojo artificial como simulador para el entrenamiento de residentes de oftalmología en capsulotomía posterior con láser. Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y prospectivo en el Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer", realizado desde febrero hasta marzo de 2019. Se confeccionó un modelo que simula el ojo pseudofáquico con opacidad de cápsula posterior. Se eligieron ocho residentes de oftalmología de primer año que nunca habían realizado una capsulotomía láser. Todos observaron la ejecución de la capsulotomía en pacientes reales y en el modelo docente, mientras recibían la explicación de la técnica. Posteriormente, cada estudiante efectuó el proceder sobre el simulador en tres ocasiones, y se evaluó en cuanto al completamiento de la capsulotomía y los impactos al lente. Resultados: Se obtuvo un modelo de simulación para el entrenamiento de la capsulotomía posterior láser con el uso de materiales reusables. El promedio de disparos para completar el proceder fue superior al necesario en pacientes reales. No obstante, el número de disparos e impactos de láser en el lente intraocular se redujo con las sucesivas sesiones de entrenamiento. Conclusiones: El simulador confeccionado es económico y de fácil factura. Su uso resulta funcional para el entrenamiento sistemático de la capsulotomía posterior con Nd. YAG láser, sin riesgo de daño para el paciente. Contribuye a perfeccionar el enfoque y a minimizar los impactos en la lente intraocular, por lo que se muestra como un medio didáctico útil para la formación y evaluación de habilidades de los residentes de oftalmología(AU)
Introduction: Laser capsulotomy is the only effective treatment for posterior capsule opacity, the commonest cause of decreased vision after cataract surgery. This procedure is simple, but not without complications. Until now, learning such procedure has been carried out directly on patients. Using simulators allows learning the technique without harming patients and without the professor's obligatory presence. Objective: To validate the creation of an artificial eye model to be used as a simulator for the training of Ophthalmology residents in posterior capsulotomy with laser. Methods: Observational, descriptive and prospective study carried out, from February to March 2019, at Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology. A model was made that simulates the pseudophakic eye with posterior capsule opacity. Eight first-year Ophthalmology residents who had never performed a laser capsulotomy were selected. All the participants observed the performance of capsulotomy in real patients, as well as in the teaching model, while receiving the explanation regarding the technique. Subsequently, each student performed the procedure with the simulator on three occasions, and received an evaluation based on the completion of the capsulotomy and the impacts to the lens. Results: A simulation model was obtained for training posterior laser capsulotomy with the use of reusable materials. The average number of shots to complete the procedure was higher than necessary in real patients. However, the number of shots and laser impacts on the intraocular lens decreased with successive training sessions. Conclusions: The simulator created is cheap and easy to make. Its use is functional for the systematic training of posterior capsulotomy with neodymium. Yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) laser did not have any risks to the patient. It contributes to perfecting the focus and minimizing the impacts on the intraocular lens; therefore, it is shown as a useful didactic means for the training and evaluation of skills of Ophthalmology residents(AU)

ABSTRACT
Introduction: This discussion paper reviews and synthesises the literature on simulated learning environment (SLE) from allied health sciences, medical and nursing in general and audiology specifically. The focus of the paper is on discussing the use of high-fidelity (HF) SLE and describing the challenges for developing a HF SLE for clinical audiology training. Methods: Through the review of the literature, this paper discusses seven questions, (i) What is SLE? (ii) What are the types of SLEs? (iii) How is SLE classified? (iv) What is HF SLE? (v) What types of SLEs are available in audiology and their level of fidelity? (vi) What are the components needed for developing HF SLE? (vii) What are the possible types of HF SLEs that are suitable for audiology training? Publications were identified by structured searches from three major databases PubMed, Web of Knowledge and PsychInfo and from the reference lists of relevant articles. The authors discussed and mapped the levels of fidelity of SLE audiology training modules from the literature and the learning domains involved in the clinical audiology courses. Results: The discussion paper has highlighted that most of the existing SLE audiology training modules consist of either low- or medium-fidelity types of simulators. Those components needed to achieve a HF SLE for audiology training are also highlighted. Conclusion: Overall, this review recommends that the combined approach of different levels and types of SLE could be used to obtain a HF SLE training module in audiology training.
