Extended Reality - The Evolution of Anesthesia Training

Overview

The goal of the presentation is to provide an overview and appraisal of the current simulation modalities used for anesthesia education beyond the traditional task trainers and high-fidelity simulators. Traditional simulation is central to healthcare education and knowledge maintenance. It requires significantly more resources than traditional education. The challenges brought from space restrictions during a resent pandemic, constant need to balance budgets for new equipment purchases and maintenance, as well as availability of personnel to conduct the simulations, have spurred a wave of innovations in simulation-based education.

Objectives:

1. Discuss the various non-traditional forms of simulation and their use in anesthesia education.
2. Reveal avenues to pursue when searching for various forms of non-traditional simulation.
3. Define the difference between screen based, computer based and virtual reality simulation.

Video Based Demonstration of Anesthesia Care From the Operating Room During COVID19 Pandemic – Presented by the Anesthesiology Section

As a result of the COVID pandemic, clerkship education at our institution was transitioned to virtual curriculum including: pre-recorded video-lectures; case- based learning discussions with faculty via Zoom; Access Anesthesiology; and YouTube videos on airway procedures. None of these resources enabled the students to watch the anesthesiologists’ daily routine. We developed an innovative curriculum that enabled learners to experience real-time patient care in the operating room using a virtual meeting platform.

Characteristics of Distance Healthcare Simulation (During COVID19): Results of an International Survey

Presenters: Janice Palaganas, Juli Maxworthy, Julia Caton, Yoon Soo Park, Clement Buleon, Michael Buyck, Susan Eller, Gabe Reedy, Suzie Kardong-Edgren, Barbara Walsh, Isabel Gross

Course Objectives:

1. Analyze data from the 2021 Distance Simulation Survey

2. Discuss the current landscape of distance simulation: who is using it, what the drivers are for its use, what purposes it is being used for, what modalities and approaches are being used, and what is needed for supporting distance simulation in the future

3. Build on future directions for research and practice of distance simulation

Course Description:

During pandemic periods, the education of health professions must continue. Healthcare providers need to develop competencies associated with COVID-19 management while continuing to safely care for patients with chronic conditions or acute needs unrelated to the pandemic.

While social distancing requirements demand it, online distance healthcare simulation can be an ideal learning platform. Indeed, simulation educators worldwide have quickly transitioned in-person health professions education to an online environment.

As part of a larger project exploring issues around distance simulation, a large-scale global survey was developed to collect data from simulation programs worldwide to capture what types of online/remote simulations and methods are being used.

The survey provides a snapshot of the current landscape of distance simulation: who is using it, what the drivers are for its use, what purposes it is being used for, what modalities and approaches are being used, and what is needed for supporting distance simulation in the future.

The genesis, design, and results of the survey will be presented, along with implications of the results for future research and practice.

The simulation operations specialist (SOS) should be an integral part of a research planning team. The specialized knowledge of the SOS can save time, money, and prevent major errors in simulation research design planning and implementation. Though it helps to understand some research terminology, even a novice can make a significant contribution to a research plan through careful listening to gain an understanding of what will happen during a research scenario. This presentation is designed for the SOS new to the research process. Those attendees more experienced with research will be invited to share their experiences with the group.

Course Objectives:

1. Describe how the SOS can make a significant contribution to research design, without knowing a lot about research.

2. Review key terms that might be of help when attending research team meetings.

3. Crowdsource best practices and lessons learned by other SOS attendees while working in research.
