Summary
This systematic review and meta-analysis compares high-fidelity simulation with no simulation or low-fidelity simulation for neonatal resuscitation training. It includes 15 studies (10 RCTs and 5 single-arm pre-post studies) and assesses effects on resuscitation knowledge and skill performance. High-fidelity simulation showed benefits in knowledge and skills immediately after training. Long-term retention and transfer to real clinical situations remain uncertain.
