Use of Simulators in training within resuscitation Tore Lærdal Chairman Laerdal Medical and Laerdal Foundation for Acute Medicine

Why simulation? rare and difficult patients errors allowed realistic preparation for rare and difficult patients errors allowed no patients can be hurt repetition possible

Simulation; an important tool for patient safety “Use Simulations Whenever Possible ...Crew resource management techniques, combined with simulation, have substantially improved aviation safety and can be modified for health care use.” “Train in Teams Those Who Are Expected to Work in Teams ...health care organizations should establish team training programs for personnel in critical care areas (e.g. the emergency department, intensive care unit, operating room) using proven methods such as the crew resource management techniques employed in aviation, including simulation.” http://www.nap.edu/books/0309068371/html/
