Improving internal medicine resident proficiency in non-invasive positive pressure ventilation and oxygen modalities through simulation training

Simulation-based training improved attitudes and knowledge for both oxygen modalities and NIPPV. PGY1 and PGY2 residents achieved knowledge levels similar to PGY3 residents after the training. We recommend incorporating simulation-based respiratory training into residency programs to improve resident competency for both oxygen modalities and NIPPV.
