Real-Life training may beat simulated drills for surgical teams
NCT ID NCT07346937
First seen Jan 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether training healthcare teams in a real operating room (in-situ simulation) is better than training in a simulation center. About 108 professionals from a surgical center will participate in one of two training groups. Researchers will measure teamwork, skills, and how realistic the training feels. The goal is to find the most effective way to train teams for safer patient care.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could show that training in real clinical settings is more effective than simulation centers, leading to better team skills and patient safety.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 108 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures perceptions and skills in a controlled setting, not real patient outcomes.
As listed by the trial registrant
