Advances in simulation (London, England)·2024

Anesthesia resident training can be improved by using mannequin-based simulators to identify and address frequent management errors. These simulators show promise for evaluating residents and enhancing anesthesia education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Simulation Technology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Anesthesia simulators offer reproducible scenarios for resident training and evaluation.
  • Development of valid and reliable simulation tools is crucial for assessing anesthesia residents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the validity and reliability of mannequin-based anesthesia simulators for resident assessment.
  • To identify management errors made by anesthesia residents during simulated scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • 99 anesthesia residents were videotaped managing simulated scenarios on MedSim or METI simulators.
  • Two independent evaluators at each institution and one external evaluator scored resident performance using two grading forms.
  • Statistical analyses assessed construct validity, criterion validity, internal consistency, and interrater reliability.

Main Results:

  • Mannequin-based simulator assessment demonstrated construct validity, with scores improving across training levels.
  • Simulator scores moderately correlated with faculty evaluations and standardized test scores, supporting criterion validity.
  • High internal consistency (alpha = 0.71-0.76) and excellent interrater reliability (correlation = 0.94-0.96) were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Anesthesia residents, including advanced ones, made numerous management errors, highlighting areas for training improvement.
  • Mannequin-based simulators show potential for evaluating anesthesia residents, complementing existing assessment methods.
  • Further refinement of simulation scenarios and grading criteria is needed for accreditation purposes.
