Connect Simulation Data to Life! Access our free webinar recording and learn more about how your simulation program can become involved with the SSH International Simulation Data Registry (ISDR) and help track vital outcomes data.
The ISDR is a repository to collect and archive standardized data derived from simulation-based educational activities at various institutions throughout the world. Our purposes in this are threefold:
- Enhancement of the simulation community’s efficacy in translating proven educational methods into standard practice.
- Enhancement of the efficiency of simulation-based translational research.
- Provision of ongoing site-specific educational and quality benchmarking data to improve programmatic performance.
The registry currently involves 32 centers from around the world. Cases eligible for entry include:
- Pulseless Cardiac Arrest (Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia, Ventricular Fibrillation, Pulseless Electrical Activity, Asystole)
- Malignant Hyperthermia
- Difficult Airway
A copy of current Data Definitions Manual can be downloaded here. All cardiac arrest metrics are comparable (after conversion) with American Heart Association-Get With The Guidelines Registry data. A document describing this conversion process can be downloaded here.

5 teaching methods that are beneficial to medical students
Say Campus Life
Despite traditional teaching techniques such as lectures having numerous advantages, they only give students a passive, non-participatory, and information-receiving role. It means that although lectures expose students to information, this mode of teaching denies students the opportunity to process and synthesis information.

Artificial intelligence creates better, faster MRI scans
Popular Science
When a patient climbs into an MRI scanner, it peers inside their body to reveal the complex anatomy within, like the ligaments and tendons in a knee. But in January, before COVID struck, some patients who needed their knee scanned at NYU Langone Health started getting intentionally scanned twice.

Convalescent plasma for pediatric patients with SARSâ€CoVâ€2â€associated acute respiratory distress syndrome
Pediatric Blood & Cancer
There are no proven safe and effective therapies for children who develop life‐threatening complications of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). Convalescent plasma (CP) has demonstrated potential benefit in adults with SARS‐CoV‐2, but has theoretical risks.We present the first report of CP in children with life‐threatening coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), providing data on four pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The paradigm shift in surgical skills training
Express Healthcare
With the US FDA estimating that nine per cent of medical device problems are directly related to use error and the actual rate of use-related errors probably much higher, Dr Anish Desai, director, Intellimed Healthcare Solutions says surgical simulation, tele-mentoring and skills training are opportunities to teach and practice advanced skills outside of the operating room as well as train surgical staff to achieve optimal patient outcomes and ensure safe usage of newer medical devices and procedures like minimally invasive surgery and robotic surgery

Value-based health care must value black lives
Health Affairs
Value-based health care emerged more than two decades ago to improve quality while containing costs. However, its impact on racial health disparities has been limited. Black Americans in particular are more likely than White Americans to suffer from cardiovascular disease, maternal mortality, and poor cancer outcomes.
