Evaluation of a multidisciplinary simulation training curriculum for local anesthetic systemic toxicity management: a quasi-experimental study using the Kirkpatrick model in India.
Article in Anesthesia and pain medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLocal anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a rare life-threatening complication of regional anesthesia. Simulation-based training offers an effective educational approach to improve the management of infrequent events. This quasi-experimental study assessed the impact of a multidisciplinary simulation-based educational intervention on managing LAST as a real peri-operative team.
methodsTwelve anesthesia trainees and eight nursing staff members participated in the study. The intervention included pre-course learning materials, cognitive aids, and immersive simulation scenarios. Simulation scenarios were conducted at baseline (O1), one week after a boot camp (O2), and six months later (O3). Participants' reactions to the training were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale, while knowledge acquisition was measured through pre- and post-test questionnaires. Team-based skills acquisition and retention were assessed using a modified checklist from the simulation team assessment tool. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, with P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
resultsAll participants rated the LAST curriculum as satisfactory to very satisfactory. Significant improvements in both technical and non-technical skills were observed post-intervention (O2), with checklist scores increasing from an average of 39 (4.2) (95% confidence interval [CI], 34.88; 43.11) at O1 to 83.5 (5.7) (95% CI, 77.91; 89.08) at O2 (mean difference, 44.5; P < 0.001). At six months (O3), skill retention was indicated by an average score of 72 (7.8) (95% CI, 62.36; 77.64).
conclusionsMultidisciplinary, simulation-based educational interventions remarkably improve knowledge and skills related to LAST management, with effective skill retention observed at six months when implemented by multiprofessional teams in real-world settings.
