Simulation

We did it! We ran a low fidelity simulation in the OR today with the residents. This is the first time the residents have been part of a simulation and they did a great job.

We took over an empty OR and assigned the residents roles. They were told to set up for an elective vag hyst under spinal. After they had set up, we sent in another resident to play the obs/gyne surgeon who announced there was an emergency GA Cesarian for severe fetal distress. I played the distraught patient and the anesthesia resident had to shift gears quickly.

It went well and the residents found the experience a great learning opportunity. They would like to have a chance to practice more simulations.

Tomorrow we will be going over to KHI to teach the nurse anesthesia students for the first time this trip. On Thursday we will have the group over for journal club at our apartment.

Shannon and I have really appreciated the variety of teaching experiences we've had.
