“…Validation of the simulation against reality is therefore essential. [37][38][39] The use of simulators for surgical training is a good example of technical simulation and has been important for the safe development of minimally invasive surgery, endoscopy, and laparoscopic surgery. [40][41][42][43][44][45] As experience has evolved and the simulators have become ever more sophisticated, surgeons have benefitted from shortened learning times, improved outcomes, and reduced complication rates.…”

There has been a recent explosion of education and training in echocardiography in the specialties of anesthesiology and critical care. These devices, by their impact on clinical management, are changing the way surgery is performed and critical care is delivered. A number of international bodies have made recommendations for training and developed examinations and accreditations.The challenge to medical educators in this area is to deliver the training needed to achieve competence into already over-stretched curricula.The authors found an apparent increase in the use of simulators, with proven efficacy in improving technical skills and knowledge. There is still an absence of evidence on how it should be included in training programs and in the accreditation of certain levels.There is a conviction that this form of simulation can enhance and accelerate the understanding and practice of echocardiography by the anesthesiologist and intensivists, particularly at the beginning of the learning curve.
