Simulation

To facilitate teaching and learning, our Department has acquired a high-fidelity patient simulators. Over the past years, we have conducted a number of simulator workshops for medical students (Year 5 Anaesthesia module; Special selective study module for Year 4 medical students), anaesthesia specialists and trainees in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care. The workshops cover several modules including airway emergencies, cardiovascular emergencies, human performance issues, anaesthetic emergencies and trauma. A variety of instructional techniques have been demonstrated by the highly realistic simulation scenarios and immediate post-scenario video-assisted debriefings, managed according to the Crisis Resource Management principles. In addition, we have developed a number of advanced simulation experiments using the upgraded high-fidelity human patient simulator to improve learning in medical and allied health students. The Department has collaborated with Shenzhen Nanshan Hospital to organize a joint training program for anesthetists in China. Since 2010, we have trained >300 anesthetists from different parts of China.
