Screen-Based Anesthesia Simulation With Debriefing Improves Performance in a Mannequin-Based Anesthesia Simulator

Abstract

Residents who managed anesthetic problems using a screen-based anesthesia simulator handled the emergencies in a mannequin-based anesthesia simulator better than residents who were asked to study a handout covering the same problems. Computer simulations with feedback are effective as a supplement to traditional residency training methods for the management of medical emergencies.
