Medical simulation effectively trains otolaryngology trainees in airway crisis management. This program provides valuable skills for rare, life-threatening events, enhancing patient safety.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Simulation is a proven training tool in high-risk fields.
  • Otolaryngology (ORL) involves rare but critical airway emergencies.
  • Effective management of these events requires specialized training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a medical simulation program for otolaryngology trainees.
  • To enhance skills in airway crisis management.
  • To improve teamwork and leadership during emergencies.

Main Methods:

  • A full-day curriculum with three airway emergency scenarios was created.
  • Scenarios were developed collaboratively by ORL specialists and simulation faculty.
  • Structured, video-assisted debriefings incorporated didactic content on crisis management.

Main Results:

  • 17 trainees participated across four pilot courses.
  • High participant satisfaction reported: overall program (5.0/5.0), realism (4.36/5.0), debriefing quality (4.92/5.0).
  • Trainees found the simulation valuable for infrequent, life-threatening ORL emergencies.

Conclusions:

  • Medical simulation is highly effective for teaching airway crisis management.
  • Simulation enhances teamwork skills for otolaryngology trainees.
  • This training addresses a critical educational gap in ORL.
