Simulation lab a safe way to practice crisis management
Emergencies such as the one described above don’t happen frequently in the OR, but it is important to prepare for them, and simulation has emerged as an ideal educational tool. This scenario took place in a simulation lab, not a real OR, so the danger to the “patient” (manikin) consisted mainly of potential malfunction. In a simulated environment, OR staff can practice responses to crisis situations and team communication can be improved because ideally, simulations involve participants from many disciplines.
