CAFe Model a Significant Step Forward in Coronary Artery Disease Progression Simulation
The multi-physics simulation (CAFe) model represents a significant step forward in the simulation of coronary artery disease (CAD) progression and offers a promising tool for advancing our understanding of the disease. This... read more
Acute Traumatic Coma Awakening by Right Median Nerve Electrical Stimulation
Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to acute coma and may result in prolonged disorder of consciousness (pDOC). We aimed to determine whether right median nerve electrical stimulation is a safe and effective treatment... read more

Dealing with missing delirium assessments in prospective clinical studies of the critically ill
For longitudinal data where a summary exposure is of interest, we recommend practitioners adopting the passive imputation strategy. Simulations show that all methods performed comparably when the proportion of missingness... read more

Virtual Reality Tailored to the Needs of Post-ICU Patients
ICU-specific virtual reality appears safe and more immersive than 2D, implicating that ICU-specific virtual reality is feasible for clinical use. One should however be aware of simulator sickness-related symptoms. Future... read more

Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Modeling and Simulation
This is a second edition to the original published by Springer in 2006. The comprehensive volume takes a textbook approach systematically developing the field by starting from linear models and then moving up to generalized... read more

Adapting to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Thrust into a pandemic unlike any other, health professionals today must continually adapt to an ever-changing environment. Protocols change at dizzying rates, while the physical and mental demands of our jobs increase... read more

Translational simulation for rapid transformation of health services, using the example of the COVID-19 pandemic preparation
Healthcare simulation has significant potential for helping health services to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapid changes to care pathways and processes needed for protection of staff and patients may be facilitated by... read more

COVID-19 Emergency Intubation Simulation Guidance
Glenfield Hospital have produced a simulation based on the above joint guidance which may be helpful for teaching and familiarisation. Small modifications have been made based on local resources and feedback. Thanks to the... read more

Translational Simulation: Not “Where?” But “Why?” A Functional View of In SITU Simulation
Healthcare simulation has been widely adopted for health professional education at all stages of training and practice and across cognitive, procedural, communication and teamwork domains. Recent enthusiasm for in situ simulation—delivered... read more

Doctors Feel What It’s Like to Be in the ICU
Immersive art project lets Mount Sinai staff hear noises and feel confined like intensive-care brain trauma patients; a new view of treating unconscious patients.... read more

Simulation of a Novel Schedule for Intensivist Staffing to Improve Continuity of Patient Care and Reduce Physician Burnout
Despite widespread adoption of in-house call for ICU attendings, there is a paucity of research on optimal scheduling of intensivists to provide continuous on-site coverage. Overnight call duties have traditionally been added... read more

The Impact of Neonatal Simulations on Trainees Stress and Performance
Neonatal simulations cause significant anticipatory and participatory stress. Despite this, trainees' performance score in simulation was over 80%. Simulated death did not impact performance, magnitude of rise in salivary... read more
