    Abstract Summary statement: The objective of this research was to identify and review studies that have evaluated the impact of simulation-based training on health care professionals during epidemics.All studies in health care simulation-based training published during the last 5 epidemics with a global impact (SARS-CoV, H1N1, MERS, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2; through July 2021) were selected from a systematic search of PUBMED, EMBASE, and key journals.The search strategy identified 274 studies; 148 met the inclusion criteria and were included. Most of the studies were developed in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 117, 79.1%), used a descriptive approach (n = 54, 36.5%), and were used to train technical skills (n = 82, 55.4%).This review demonstrates a growing interest in publications related to health care simulation and epidemics. Most of the literature is marked by limited study designs and outcome measurements, although there is a trend toward the use of more refined methodologies in the most recent publications. Further research should seek the best evidence-based instructional strategies to design training programs in preparation for future outbreaks.

    Abstract Nurses and other health students may lack the proper time for training procedural tasks, such as peripheral venous access. There is a need to develop these abilities in novices so that errors can be avoided when treating real patients. Nonetheless, from an experiential point of view, the simulation devices offered in the market do not always make sense for educators and trainees. This could make the adoption of new technology difficult. The purpose of this case study is to describe the development of an innovative simulation device and to propose concrete tactics for the involvement of the educators and trainees. We used a participative design based approach, with an ethnographic basis, where incremental cycles of user testing, development and iteration were involved. The study showcases methods from the field of design and anthropology that can be used to develop future simulation devices that resonate with students and educators to achieve a long term learning experience. Results could shed a light on new ways for the involvement of educators and students to create devices that resonate with them, making learning significant and effective.

    Abstract Summary statement: The global pandemic of COVID-19 had strong repercussions in healthcare simulation-based education around the world. Different adaptations to imposed restraints such as social distancing have been developed to address the educational needs of healthcare professionals. However, the lack of access to simulators in low-income countries or rural areas may restrict the access to distance simulation-based training.

    Abstract Study objective: Establish the transcultural validity of Anesthetists Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) in a Spanish-speaking country.
    Design: Prospective cohort.
    Setting: Clinical simulation center.
    Subjects: Forty-two Anesthesia PY2 and PY3 residents participated in the study.
    Interventions: Four clinical scenarios simulating anesthesia crises were assessed with a Spanish version of ANTS. Every simulated scenario was run twice with a time span of 3 to 4 months between them.
    Measurements: Two anesthesiologists independently assessed all simulated sessions using ANTS. The ANTS indicators of construct validity were obtained by confirmatory factor analysis. Various goodness-of-fit indices of the factorial model were calculated: Comparative Fit Index (CFI); Tucker-Lewis Adjustment Index (TLI) and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA). The standardized factor loadings and the determination coefficient (R2) was also estimated.
    Main results: A total of 212 clinical scenarios were analyzed. The specified factorial model had the same grouping of elements in four domains as the original version of ANTS. The CFI index and the TLI were 0.99 and the RMSEA reached 0.07 (95% CI 0.06-0.08). All the standardized factor loadings were found to be >0.4. Also, the elements obtained an R2 value that fluctuated between 0.54 and 0.92.
    Conclusions: The Spanish version of ANTS is a valid, reliable and a useful tool to assess non-technical skills in Spanish-speaking countries. The applicability of the instrument was comparable to the original setting. The high reliability of ANTS in our setting allows us to propose its use not just in an educational and research setting; it can be used as an assessment tool of non-technical skills.

    Title translation ¿Es efectiva la lidocaína endovenosa para disminuir el dolor y acelerar la recuperación postoperatoria?
    Abstract Introduction: Lidocaine is widely used in anesthesia due to its multiple properties, including its role as analgesic. However, it is not entirely clear which are the real benefits of its use in the perioperative setting.
    Methods: To answer this question we used Epistemonikos, the largest database of systematic reviews in health, which is maintained by screening multiple information sources, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, among others. We extracted data from the systematic reviews, reanalyzed data of primary studies, conducted a meta-analysis and generated a summary of findings table using the GRADE approach.
    Results and conclusions: We identified 15 systematic reviews including 53 studies overall, all of them randomized controlled trials. We concluded the use of intravenous perioperative lidocaine probably results in a clinically irrelevant difference in pain and length of hospital stay, but it probably prevents postoperative nausea and vomiting.
