Article Abstract
Simulation played a critical role in our institution's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City. With the rapid influx of critically ill patients, resource limitations, and presented safety concerns, simulation became a vital tool that provided solutions to the many challenges we faced. In this article, we describe how simulation training was deployed at our institution throughout the course of the pandemic, which included the period of our medical surge. Simulation helped refine protocols, facilitate practice changes, uncover safety gaps, and train redeployed healthcare workers in unfamiliar roles. We also discuss the obstacles we encountered with implementing simulations during the pandemic, the measures we took to adapt to our limitations, and the simulation strategies and end products that were derived from these adaptations.

Virtual Reality Simulation for Assessment of Hemorrhage Control and SALT Triage Performance: A Comparison of Prehospital to In-Hospital Emergency Responders.
Prehosp Disaster Med

CACI, Inc, Falls Church, VirginiaUSA.
Introduction: Targeted identification, effective triage, and rapid hemorrhage control are essential for optimal outcomes of mass-casualty incidents (MCIs). An important aspect of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) care is field triage, but this skill is difficult to teach, assess, and research.
Study Objective: This study assessed triage efficacy and hemorrhage control of emergency responders from different professions who used the Sort, Assess, Life-Saving Treatment (SALT) triage algorithm in a virtual reality (VR) simulation of a terrorist subway bombing.
The effect of immersive simulation-based learning on an anatomy program in nursing education: a quasi-experimental study.

Laboratory of Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Learning, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Casablanca, Morocco.
Purpose: This study explores how immersive simulation-based learning affects nursing students' engagement, motivation, satisfaction, self-confidence, and knowledge gains in anatomy education.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out from January to February 2025 among nursing students. A total of 76 participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: an experimental group receiving immersive simulation (n=38) and a control group following traditional instruction (n=38).
Enabling micro-assessments of skills in the simulated setting using temporal artificial intelligence-models.

September 2025
NordSim, Center for Skills Training and Simulation, Aalborg University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark.
Background: Assessing skills in simulated settings is resource-intensive and lacks validated metrics. Advances in AI offer the potential for automated competence assessment, addressing these limitations. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning AI model for automated evaluation during simulation-based thyroid ultrasound (US) training.

Unlabelled: The Media-Fill Test is a crucial procedure in the pharmaceutical industry, especially for the production of sterile drugs that do not undergo terminal sterilization (meaning they are prepared directly under aseptic conditions).The primary goal of the Media-Fill Test is to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the aseptic process in preventing microbial contamination. It doesn't serve to test the sterility of an individual production batch, but rather to: Validate the aseptic process, Qualify personnel, Identify critical points and Verify the environment.
