Send a textIm Rahmen der Simulationswoche der Anästhesiologie 2026 sprechen wir über den Stellenwert von Simulationstraining in der Aus- und Weiterbildung. Wie belastbar ist die Evidenz? Welche Kompetenzen werden tatsächlich verbessert? Und warum ist der direkte Nachweis eines Effekts auf Patientenergebnisse methodisch so schwierig?Simulationstraining ist in der Anästhesiologie evidenzbasiert eine effektive Methode zur Verbesserung von theoretischem Wissen, praktischen Fertigkeiten und nicht-technischen Kompetenzen wie Teamarbeit, Kommunikation und Problemlösung. Mehrere Meta-Analysen und systematische Reviews zeigen, dass simulationsbasierte Trainingsformate im Vergleich zu nicht-simulationsbasierten Ansätzen signifikant bessere Ergebnisse in Wissenstests, technischen Skills und der Entwicklung nicht-technischer Kompetenzen erzielen [1,2].Insbesondere die Förderung von Teamleistung und interdisziplinärer Kommunikation wird als zentraler Mehrwert hervorgehoben, da gerade in hochdynamischen und sicherheitskritischen Situationen – wie perioperativen Krisen – die Koordination im Team entscheidend ist [3,4]. Simulation ermöglicht das strukturierte Training von Crisis Resource Management (CRM), Entscheidungsfindung unter Stress sowie standardisierter Kommunikation.Moderne Simulationstechnologien, einschließlich Virtual-Reality-basierter Anwendungen, erweitern das Spektrum der Trainingsmöglichkeiten. Sie erlauben risikofreies Üben komplexer Szenarien und technischer Prozeduren, insbesondere in Hochrisikobereichen wie der geburtshilflichen Anästhesie [4,5]. Simulation wird daher zunehmend als integraler Bestandteil der anästhesiologischen Aus- und Weiterbildung angesehen und von Expert:innen als verpflichtender Bestandteil strukturierter Curricula gefordert [3,9].Die Evidenz für eine direkte Verbesserung klinischer Patientenergebnisse durch Simulationstraining ist hingegen bislang limitiert. Zwar existieren Hinweise auf positive Effekte in spezifischen Kontexten, robuste und kausal belastbare Outcome-Daten sind jedoch selten [2,6–8]. Die meisten Studien belegen Verbesserungen auf Ebene von Wissen, technischen Fertigkeiten und Teamperformance, während der Transfer in harte klinische Endpunkte weiterhin Gegenstand aktueller Forschung ist.Zusammenfassend ist Simulationstraining in der Anästhesie klar evidenzbasiert wirksam hinsichtlich Kompetenzentwicklung – insbesondere technischer und nicht-technischer Fähigkeiten – während der direkte Nachweis eines Effekts auf Patientenergebnisse methodisch anspruchsvoll bleibt. Unabhängig davon wird Simulation als zentrales Instrument moderner Patientensicherheit und kontinuierlicher professioneller Entwicklung betrachtet.Weiterführende LiteraturSu Y, Zeng Y.

Send a textWhat are we actually compressing during neonatal CPR? This week on The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna dive into a provocative echocardiography study out of Edmonton showing that standard chest compressions in newborns likely target the right heart and great vessels — not the left ventricle. A small sample size, but a finding that anyone who ultrasounds hearts all day will instantly recognize.Daphna presents a retrospective multicenter study from Nationwide Children's on antibiotic duration for Gram-negative bloodstream infections in the NICU. Short course (≤8 days) showed no treatment failures — while 14% of infants in the long duration group developed a multi-drug resistant organism infection. Eight days versus ten: does the difference matter? The data says yes.Ben reviews a randomized controlled trial from UAB on early vitamin D supplementation in extremely preterm infants fed human milk. Eight hundred units daily for the first two weeks appears safe and effective at achieving vitamin D sufficiency — but did it move the needle on BPD? And is that even the right question to ask?Daphna brings a QI paper from Levine Children's on universal social determinants of health screening across nine pediatric divisions, achieving 92% compliance and connecting thousands of families to resources through findhelp.org. A reminder that the tools are already there — we just have to use them.The episode wraps with Ben, Daphna, and Eli discussing Colorado's landmark paid NICU leave law — the first in the nation to require employers to provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave for parents with a baby in the NICU. What does the evidence say, and how do we advocate for this in our own states?Science, equity, and advocacy — all in one episode.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Send a textBen and Daphna review a randomized controlled trial published in The Journal of Pediatrics by Dr. Ariel Salas and colleagues at UAB. The study investigates whether early high-dose vitamin D supplementation (800 IU/day starting day 1) in extremely preterm infants reduces the incidence of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) compared to standard care (starting day 14). The hosts discuss the physiologic rationale linking vitamin D to lung development, the use of impulse oscillometry to measure lung mechanics, and the secondary findings regarding metabolic bone disease.

In this Journal Club edition of the EAU Podcast, Prof. Thomas Tailly leads a focused discussion on the recently completed APPEAL trial, a multicentre randomised controlled study evaluating whether routine antibiotic prophylaxis is necessary for patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).The distinguished panel - Prof. Kari Tikkinen, Prof. Zafer Tandogdu, Dr. Daron Smith, and Dr. Guido Kamphuis - explores the study's design, recruitment challenges, outcome measures and the rationale behind examining antibiotic use in a procedure historically considered low-risk for infection.They discuss variations in practice across centres, the balance between preventing rare infectious complications and avoiding unnecessary antibiotic exposure, and how the trial contributes valuable evidence in an area with limited high-quality data.Throughout the episode, the panel reflects on how these findings align with current EAU recommendations and considers how the APPEAL trial can support future refinements in guideline statements. With a mix of expert insight, clinical reasoning and constructive debate, this episode offers listeners a clear understanding of the trial's significance and its potential impact on everyday urological practice.You can find the article to the APPEAL trial here. For more EAU podcasts, please go to your favourite podcast app and subscribe to our podcast channel for regular updates: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, EAU YouTube channel.

Send a textHow much oxygen is enough when resuscitating extremely preterm infants? This week on The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna explore the TORPIDO 30/60 trial comparing 60% versus 30% FiO2 at birth. While primary outcomes were similar, babies in the 60% group needed fewer chest compressions and less epinephrine—a signal worth discussing.They examine an Indian non-inferiority study on surfactant thresholds (40% vs 30% FiO2), where waiting until 40% meant significantly fewer intubations and shorter respiratory support for the youngest babies. Ben presents compelling Melbourne data showing growth-restricted preterm infants face six-fold higher NEC risk—even with identical feeding protocols—and discusses how critical birth history gets "lost" as babies grow.Daphna tackles therapeutic hypothermia in late preterm infants, reviewing Toronto's retrospective analysis showing 34-35 weekers experience higher mortality and more brain injury compared to 36-37 weekers. As units rewrite cooling protocols, are we moving too fast on limited evidence?The episode concludes with Ben, Daphna, and Eli discussing the repeal of "sensitive locations" protections for immigration enforcement.

In this AJNR Fellows' Journal Club article summary, Dr. Francis Deng and Dr. Amir Khadivi discuss the article by Proner et al., "Impact of Clinical and Radiologic Factors on CTP Timing in Acute Ischemic Stroke." They discuss the authors' findings that cardiac arrhythmias and older age are independent predictors of nondiagnostic CTP exams. Specifically, these factors often lead to the truncation of reference vessel time-attenuation curves that fail to reach equilibrium within a 45-second acquisition window.

This week on The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna explore this question and others relevant to daily NICU practice. A Toronto study examines NT-proBNP as a practical diagnostic tool in extremely preterm infants.They also examine a puzzling finding from Italy and Belgium: despite near-universal antibiotic use in neonates with HIE undergoing cooling, actual culture-positive sepsis rates are surprisingly low. What does this mean for our approach to empiric antibiotics?Ben presents Norwegian data showing that serial physical exams cut antibiotic exposure in half for term and late preterm infants—without compromising safety. Daphna follows with research connecting NICU capacity strain to patient outcomes, underscoring why adequate staffing isn't just about comfort, but about survival.The episode concludes with Ben, Daphna, and Eli discussing the recent CDC changes to Hepatitis B birth dose recommendations. With federal guidance now diverging from AAP recommendations, how do we navigate conversations with families?

Send us a textBen and Daphna review the ICAF randomized clinical trial evaluating extended caffeine therapy in preterm infants and its impact on intermittent hypoxia through 41 weeks postmenstrual age. They discuss the study design, oximetry outcomes across multiple saturation thresholds, inflammatory biomarkers including TNF-α, and clinically relevant safety signals such as oxygen restart rates, length of stay, and weight gain. The conversation focuses on what intermittent hypoxia may mean for ongoing risk, and whether a targeted subgroup of infants might benefit from extending caffeine beyond traditional stopping points.----Intermittent hypoxia and caffeine in infants born preterm: the ICAF Randomized Clinical Trial.
