Papel de la simulación clínica en el manejo de la vía aérea difícil : revisión sistemática de la literatura

Abstract

The training of critical care physicians is fundamentally based in the acquisition of technical competences and psychomotor skills for the resolution of situations of high complexity. It is there where the high-fidelity clinical simulation offers a scenario of safe and efficient training Objective: To compare, according to what is published in the world literature, the results of publications that value simulated training in airway management. Materials and Methods: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis was proposed in which analytical articles and controlled clinical trials on the topic of airway management, search results, success in short intubation, will be analyzed. medium and long term. Results: 8 studies were selected (4 controlled clinical trials); has been demonstrated in favor of the use of high fidelity clinical simulation in both the adult population (6 publications) and the pediatric population, only 1 publication addressed the management of supraglottic devices and was developed in paramedics. Conclusions: it is considered that high fidelity clinical simulation is a useful tool in the training of residents in different specialties. There is not yet conclusive evidence to support the use of airway management, new publications are necessary.
