TL;DR
These results support the widely held assumption that debriefing is an important component of simulation and it is recommended thatdebriefing remains an integral component of all simulation-based learning experiences.
Abstract
These results support the widely held assumption that debriefing is an important component of simulation. It is recommended therefore that debriefing remains an integral component of all simulation-based learning experiences. However, the fact that there were no clinical or practical differences in outcomes when instructor facilitated debriefing was enhanced by video playback is an important finding since this approach is currently considered to be the 'gold standard' for debriefing. This finding therefore warrants further research.

British Journal of AnaesthesiaAnaesthetists’ Non-Technical Skills (ANTS): evaluation of a behavioural marker system † †Declaration of interest: The ANTS system was developed under research funding from the Scottish Council for Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education, now part of NHS Education for Scotland, through grants to the University of Aberdeen from September 1999 to August 2003. The views presented in this paper are those of the authors and should not be taken to represent the position or policy of the funding body.

Exposure to a simulated crisis without constructive debriefing by instructors offers little benefit to trainees, and the addition of video review did not offer any advantage over oral feedback alone, which means valuable simulation training can be achieved even when video technology is not available.
