Abstract

Since the mid-nineties Simulation Based Training (SBT) has rapidly gained more and more acceptance in the areas of anaesthesiology and emergency medicine. Meanwhile, a multitude of clinical projects have been initiated which have implemented SBT-programmes into a classical student education system. This article describes an exemplary student teaching project of an anaesthesiology and paediatric department at a university hospital. A five-year-period was evaluated and the course concept was analysed with respect to evidence-based teaching. Students underwent a clinically orientated assessment at the end of every course in a semi-standardised oral examination. Applying Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests for non-parametric unpaired samples, statistical significance was found in a pre-post-analysis. After implementing SBT, a significant improvement of the GPA (p<0.001) and the subjective learning benefit for postgraduate clinical competence was observed (p<0.005). Furthermore, evidence-based criteria for effective learning with "high-fidelity simulation" were identified in the literature and compared with the course-curriculum. All ten criteria were applicable to the curriculum. SBT represents an important and longlasting tool to close the gap between theoretical studies and the patient care of daily routine. Therefore, SBT should be an important component of education and, in addition, could build a "bridge" to interdisciplinary cooperation. Consequently, according to this teaching project, a close cooperation was established in the field of new teaching conceptions in paediatric anaesthesia and neonatal emergency medicine. This contribution would like to encourage the transfer of existing expertise with simulation in anaesthesiology to other clinical specialties, as a symbiotic effect and to overcome barriers/cross over boundaries. © 2013 Anästh Intensivmed.
