“…The primary criterion in selecting the appropriate simulation technique and in designing the accompanying scenarios should be the ability to meet the training goals by providing learning experiences that are difficult to achieve in the actual work environment (Salas et al 1998, Nyssen et al 2002, Beaubien and Baker 2004.…”

This study investigated the behavioural aspects of ecological validity of anaesthesia simulation environments using a task analysis approach. Six anaesthesists were observed during two cases performed in the operating room (OR), one routine and two critical incident simulation scenarios. A two-way MANOVA for repeated measures was performed with the independent variables Case (OR/SIM-R/SIM-CI) and Phase Induction/ Maintenance (Emergence), the latter being a repeated measure. Dependent variables were the proportion of each phase spent on each of the observation categories. Statistically significant main effects for Phase concerning communication, monitoring, manual tasks and documentation, for Case concerning communication and documentation, and a significant interaction effect for Phase x Case concerning manual tasks and other were found. Increased action density (i.e. amount of co-occurring activities) was observed during Induction, Emergence and the Management of simulated critical events. The similarities and differences in anaesthetists' activity patterns identified in this study will help to further improve the ecological validity of simulation environments as research settings.

“…L'intérêt de la simulation comme outil d'évaluation formative a été démontré, permettant une meilleure application des recommandations dans la prise en charge de certaines pathologies spécifiques pour les étudiants [17]. La simulation permet également d'améliorer la rapidité de diagnostic et d'assurer une meilleure prise en charge technique des situations de crise [18,19]. Nos résultats confortent ces données qui avaient été initialement rapportées dans une population de médecins anesthésistes mis en situation critique dans le contexte du bloc opératoire.…”

Objectif : La simulation haute-fidélité est de plus en plus utilisée comme outil de formation. L'objectif de notre étude était d'évaluer l'intérêt de la simulation haute-fidélité comme aide aux médecins urgentistes pour mieux appliquer les procédures de soins. Matériel et méthodes : Étude prospective évaluant la performance des médecins dans l'application correcte de procédu-res de soins standardisées sur la prise en charge d'une intubation difficile, d'un traumatisme crânien grave (TCG) et d'un arrêt cardiaque lors de deux séances de simulation (S1 et S2) à six mois d'intervalle par un évaluateur unique. Résultats : Dix-sept médecins ont été évalués (durée moyenne d'expérience professionnelle de 9 ± 4 ans). La procédure d'intubation difficile était correctement appliquée par six (35 %) médecins lors de S1 et 13 (76 %) médecins lors de S2 (p = 0,02). La différence principale dans l'application de la procédure TCG résidait essentiellement au niveau de la prévention des agressions cérébrales secondaires d'origine systémique. Le nombre de médecins appliquant correctement la procédure TCG a augmenté de cinq (29 %) lors de S1 à 12 (71 %) lors de S2 (p = 0,03). Le nombre de médecins assurant une réanimation cardiopulmonaire d'un arrêt cardiaque selon les recommandations a augmenté de sept (41 %) lors de S1 à 14 (82 %) lors de S2 (p = 0,02). Conclusion : Après deux séances de simulation à six mois d'intervalle, les performances des médecins urgentistes et leur application des procédures de soins se sont significativement améliorées. Cette étude a montré que les simulateurs hautefidélité peuvent être utilisés efficacement dans le cadre de la formation continue des médecins urgentistes confirmés. Pour citer cette revue : Ann. Fr. Med. Urgence 1 (2011). Mots clés Simulation haute-fidélité · Procédures de soins · Médecine d'urgenceAbstract Aim: High-fidelity simulation is increasingly used as a teaching tool. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of high-fidelity simulation in helping emergency physicians to better implement standard care protocols. Procedure: It is a prospective study assessing the performance of physicians in applying the correct procedures for the management of difficult intubation, severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cardiac arrest during 2 simulation sessions (S1 and S2), separated by a 6-month interval, by a single assessor using evaluation grids derived from standard care protocols. Results: Seventeen senior emergency physicians with a mean experience of 9 ± 4 years participated in the study. The protocol for difficult intubation was correctly implemented by 6 physicians (35%) in S1 and 13 physicians (76%) in S2 (P = 0.02). The major difficulty in implementing the severe TBI management protocol was the prevention of secondary systemic insults to the brain. The number of physicians correctly implementing the TBI protocol increased from 5 (29%) in S1 to 12 (71%) in S2 (P = 0.03). The number of physicians performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest as per guidelines increa...

“…A study involving testing pre-Gas Man and post-Gas Man usage showed that knowledge improved significantly in anesthesia residents at a university teaching center and at an MS-affiliated community hospital. 47 The Anesthesia Simulator was initially developed at the University of Washington by Howard Schwid and Dan O'Donnell (Simcord). 25 Since the year 2000, Anesoft Corporation has continued to develop the software and associated case library.…”

As defined by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), simulation is "a method used in health care education to replace or amplify real patient experiences with scenarios designed to replicate real health encounters, using life-like mannequins, physical models, standardized patients, or computers." 1 Interest in simulation has increased dramatically since the 1990s, as evidenced by the inauguration of a dedicated academic society, initiation of a simulation journal, and a growing body of research around its use in medical education. 2 An AAMC survey released in 2011 reveals a high level of integration by responding medical schools (MS) and teaching hospitals (TH) of simulation into undergraduate medical education, residency training, and education for practicing physicians. 1 However, the least used simulation modality reported for both MS and TH was screen-based simulation (60% MS/55% TH) versus full-scale mannequins (95% MS/87% TH), standardized patients (94% MS/65% TH), or partial task trainers (93% MS/88% TH). 1 This chapter will explore why there has been a delay in using this technology by reviewing factors leading to current education practices and utilization trends, present several currently available anesthesiacentered computer-based simulators, and discuss why current screenbased simulators provide unique opportunities and benefits in the context of an ever changing and complex educational milieu.
