Abstract
BACKGROUND: Simulation training is an essential criterion for medical staff. The majority of residents are trained in operating room crisis management (ORCM), but only a few pre-clinical anesthesia undergraduate students are trained. Anesthesia methodology and technology were studied by the anesthesia undergraduate students in theory, but they were not able to practically resolve all clinical problems scientifically and reasonably. Consequently, there is a need to apply their competencies and bring together their technology knowledge practically. The crisis management of operating room emergencies was a method of choice applied and used over time. Here, we designed the scenarios for comprehensive crisis management to train anesthesia undergraduate students. We tried to establish or identify the problems which occurred during attempts to implement these scenarios. METHODS: Anesthesia undergraduate students initially examined the basic theory, fundamental practice techniques, and case studies before the simulation training program. Subsequently, they participated in comprehensive ORCM training. Training outcomes were evaluated through different viewpoints: understanding the subject, crisis management, nontechnical skills, and a user experience evaluation. RESULTS: Anesthesia undergraduate students performed significantly better with completion of ORCM, indicated by higher scores in all four tests (P < 0.001), as well as clinical crisis management (P = 0.0016) and nontechnical skills (P = 0.0002). Following the simulation, the students described the experience as helpful in "combining theoretical knowledge with clinical practice", helpful with memorization, and in "promoting understanding of the subject," while "learning clinical logic authentically" and "inspiring learning interests." CONCLUSIONS: This research indicates that ORCM could be implemented as a useful learning tool for pre-clinical anesthesia undergraduate students. The ORCM could be an excellent training method to help improve students' professional competence in crisis management and nontechnical skills, integrating the knowledge and technology of the field of anesthesiology.
