The Patient Simulator for Training of Anesthesia Residents in the Management of One Lung Ventilation

Abstract

Simulators are used extensively for the training of medical personnel. All anesthesia providers should be prepared and trained in the management of one lung ventilation for pulmonary surgery, yet familiarization with one lung ventilation may not be possible on a routine basis in the operating room. Therefore, this reports details the first use of the patient simulator (PS) to enhance the training of anesthesia residents in the management of one lung ventilation. A detailed report of our computer program for simulating one lung ventilation is included.

One-Lung Ventilation: A Pediatric Simulation Case for Anesthesiology Residents

“…We performed a literature search but were unable to retrieve any educational publications specifically addressing this topic. Chatterjee 2 published a problem-based learning discussion on esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula in neonates, briefly touching on the subject of one-lung ventilation, and Hassan, Dorfling, McLarney, and Sloan 3 developed a simulation scenario for one-lung ventilation, but it was not specific to pediatrics. Thus, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an educational simulation dedicated to one-lung ventilation in pediatrics.…”

“…Además se proporcionan las páginas web para obtener información y las habilidades que enseñan varios dispositivos disponibles (Gouvitos F. et al, 1999;Doyle DJ, 2002;Cumin D. et al, 2008). Continuamente se van sumando nuevos programas o dispositivos que se diseñan para problemas concretos en anestesiología (Hassan ZU. et al, 2008).…”
