Impact of a Blended-Learning Rapid Sequence Intubation Training Program on Emergency Physician Confidence: A Single-Center Program Evaluation.

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
Background: Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is a high-risk, time-critical procedure in emergency medicine. Standardizing its practice across a multinational workforce with diverse training backgrounds remains a persistent educational challenge. This mixed-methods program evaluation assessed a blended-learning RSI program's impact on self-reported physician confidence and perceived educational value within a tertiary emergency care setting. Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted for a blended-learning RSI curriculum delivered between 2020 and 2022. The program combined asynchronous online modules with a 4-hour, small-group simulation-based practical session. A voluntary, anonymous post-program survey was administered in 2025 following IRB approval. Outcomes included retrospective pre-post self-reported confidence (5-point Likert scale), satisfaction with program components, and qualitative feedback. No objective performance measures were assessed. Results: Forty-five of 141 eligible physicians completed the survey (adjusted response rate 42%). Self-reported low confidence decreased from 77.8% pre-course to 6.6% post-course, while high confidence increased from 22.2% to 93.4% (Cohen's d = 2.1). Improvements were consistent across professional grades. The simulation-based session received the highest satisfaction rating (mean 4.3/5). Qualitative analysis highlighted the value of realistic simulation, structured debriefing, and standardized checklists. Suggested improvements included more complex scenarios and enhanced online interactivity. Conclusion: Participation in a blended-learning RSI program was associated with substantial improvement in self-reported physician confidence and high satisfaction among a multinational emergency medicine workforce. These findings support the feasibility and perceived value of this educational approach for high-risk procedural training in similar settings, though objective competence was not evaluated.
