Abstract

There has been increased use of simulation for medical training, continuing education, and crisis resource management. The quest for safety and quality has resulted in the development of realistic patient simulators and virtual reality devices which has enabled the mastery of complex procedures. This is especially true for the field of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesiology in which the need for management of increasingly complex and difficult cases, as well as the performance of a variety of procedures and skill sets, necessitates advanced practice models. It is essential for providers to gain mastery of skill sets such as central line placement, bronchoscopy, transesophageal echocardiography, invasive pressure monitoring, and management of complex cardiac, thoracic, and vascular cases. Using tools such as anesthesia management software, bronchoscopy simulators, vascular access trainers, full-sized mannequin, and simulated cardiopulmonary bypass models, practitioners are able to gain experience in the management of infrequently seen diseases and complications and to develop skills required for team-based management in the field of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia.
