Abstract

Based on a review of anesthesiology education articles published in 2021, the authors conducted a critical appraisal to describe trends in the literature, highlight innovations in the field, and identify high-yield articles for clinician educators in anesthesiology. After a database search (3 Ovid MEDLINE databases, Embase.com, ERIC [via FirstSearch], PsycINFO [via EBSCOhost], and PubMed), abstracts were screened by 2 independent reviewers based on inclusion criteria. Articles representing publications in both anesthesiology-specific journals and general medical education journals were included via manual search. Three randomly assigned raters reviewed and scored each quantitative article using a rubric. Two raters scored qualitative studies using a separate rubric designed for qualitative studies. Each article also received an overall quality rating used to create an additional list of recommended articles. The database search identified 1141 articles and an additional manual search identified 1497 articles. Of these, 67 articles met the inclusion criteria (61 quantitative, 6 qualitative). This article reports and summarizes the top 13 quantitative articles and top 2 qualitative papers. This year we did not see as many articles describing curriculum to teach learners procedures, a topic heavily present in previous years. Also, analysis revealed an increase in articles focused on nontechnical skill education and a trend toward how to assess learner performance. Finally, 2 articles focused on gender issues in anesthesiology, an emerging area of interest.
