Evaluation of acquisition and retention of non-technical skills of residents submitted to interprofessional simulation-based training in pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Learning non-technical skills is complex and requires training, ideally with short periodicity, since it demands frequent practice for its acquisition and retention. The present research showed that non-technical skills can be acquired through simulation-based training. However, it was noted that the retention of these skills is more complex, requiring repeated simulations over a longer period of time. Therefore, further research on the learning curve, time to acquisition, and retention of non-technical skills trained with simulation-based education is warranted.
