What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. How many countries affiliated with WFSA have some type of simulation training included in the postgraduate curriculum?

    Number of WFSA-affiliated countries with obligatory training or optional training.

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. How many countries affiliated with WFSA have obligatory simulation training in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care?

    Prevalence of obligatory simulation training in postgraduate training in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care.

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. What is required of the HCP to be able to provide anaesthesia unsupervised worldwide?

    Prevalence of answers about what is required of HCPs to provide unsupervised anaesthesia. The options are predefined; if these do not fit, participants could choose the "other" option and specify it as an open question.

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. How extensive is the simulation training in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care in countries affiliated with WFSA?

    The number of days of simulation training is obligatory or advisable during postgraduate training in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care. Also, the frequency of subsequent training components.

    Time frame: 3 months

  3. Specification of simulation training

    The prevalence of simulation modalities (low-fidelity simulation, high-fidelity simulation, etc.) across WFSA-affiliated countries. The options are predefined, or if these do not fit, participants could choose "other" and specify in an open question. The prevalence of themes covered by simulation training.

    Time frame: 3 months

  4. What are the major barriers limiting the wider implementation of simulation-based education in anaesthesia residency training in countries affiliated with WFSA?

    The prevalence of major barriers. The participants will choose from predefined options; if these do not fit, they can select the "other" option and specify it in an open question.

    Time frame: 3 months

  5. What role do artificial intelligence and virtual reality play in simulation training?

    The prevalence of answers given on the theme of AI and VR.

    Time frame: 3 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 18, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
