The very basis of anaesthesia training is based
on the duration and quality of clinical experience. It is important for budding
anaesthetists to be exposed to a range of interventions. While basic training
works for routine cases, anaesthetists have to be well prepared to carry out
multiple tasks in the case of uncommon and life-threatening events. According
to Dr. Rowan Molnar (#DrRowanMolnar), a senior specialist anaesthetist at Launceston General Hospital,
Tasmania, simulation training is one of the best ways to prepare anaesthetists
through standard scenario building and reflective training.
The use of technology
to train anaesthetists
During simulation training, it is easy to
address a number of non-technical aspects of the daily activities of
anaesthetists. Dr. Rowan Molnar (#DrRowanMolnar), who is
dedicated to medical education at all levels, particularly in the implementation
of simulation based teaching, and armed with a Master’s of Science in Health
Professional Education (Simulation Major), Harvard University is of the opinion
that the technology can be used most effectively to assess competence levels as
well. A model of the human airway is used to teach airway skills while a
mannequin is used to perform various tasks including endotracheal intubation. Mannequin
patients used in simulation centres are backed by software-based physiology to
make the situation as realistic as possible. According to Dr. Rowan
Molnar (#DrRowanMolnar), learners can feel the changes in
airway and breathing during simulation training. A typical simulation usually
involves a patient management situation where a learner is briefed about a
patient condition and is asked to conduct an anaesthetic.
