Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Surgery
Medical Education
Surgical Simulation

Background:

In-patient surgical training in cardiac surgery faces challenges due to increasing complexity and scrutiny.
Simulation-based training offers a valuable adjunct to traditional apprenticeship models.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review the evidence on simulation-based training in adult cardiac surgery.
To evaluate the validity, impact on skills, and clinical practice changes associated with surgical simulation.

Main Methods:

A PRISMA-guided systematic database search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (inception–2022).
Inclusion of original articles on simulation-based training in adult cardiac surgery.
Data extraction focused on study characteristics, simulation type, methodology, and outcomes.

Main Results:

28 studies were included, analyzing animal-based and non-tissue-based simulation models.
Validity assessment was reported for only 4 models, indicating a scarcity of rigorous testing.
All studies showed improvements in trainee confidence, knowledge, and surgical skills (accuracy, speed, dexterity).
Clinical impacts included the initiation of minimally invasive programs and improved board exam pass rates.

Conclusions:

Surgical simulation provides significant benefits for cardiac surgery trainees.
Further research is required to fully elucidate the direct impact of simulation on clinical practice and patient outcomes.
