What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: 3 months
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.
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (5)
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.
Measured: 3 months
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.
Measured: 3 months
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.
Measured: 3 months
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.
Measured: 3 months
What role do artificial intelligence and virtual reality play in simulation training?
The prevalence of answers given on the theme of AI and VR.
Measured: 3 months

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?
How many countries affiliated with WFSA have some type of simulation training included in the postgraduate curriculum? (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07771569, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
