Simulation-based mastery learning for thoracentesis skills improves patient outcomes: a randomized trial.
Physicians-in-training often perform bedside thoracenteses in academic medical centers, and complications are more common among less experienced clinicians. Simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) is one potential solution to this problem. This study evaluated the effects of a randomized trial of thoracentesis SBML on patient complications: iatrogenic pneumothorax, hemothorax, and reexpansion pulmonary edema.
