| Popis: | Aim Exposure to cardiothoracic surgery is limited during medical school in the United Kingdom. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a supersized simulation model (SSM) compared to traditional methods (TM) in developing coronary anastomosis surgical skills. Method This was a prospective, randomised controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Undergraduate medical students with no prior cardiothoracic surgical skills training were eligible for inclusion. Both groups received a guided didactic lecture followed by modified Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) assessment for baseline. The control group then received traditional teaching and the intervention group received additional teaching with SSM before being reassessed. Modified OSATS score were the primary outcome, adjudicated by two senior cardiothoracic registrars. Performance time (PT), self-assessment (SA), confidence (CON) and global rating scale (GRS) were secondary outcomes. Results 48 novice medical students were randomised. OSATS scores were significantly higher in SSM group compared to TM group (13.2 vs 9.8, p Conclusions Supersized simulation is effective for coronary anastomosis surgical training with technical skills successfully transferred to a clinical task. Supersized models can accelerate the novice trainee's surgical skill progression and represents a valuable resource in one's educational armamentarium. |
