Brief summary
In this study, Investigators are going to develop and test a device to apply virtual reality simulation to improve and help for teaching and assessment of anesthesia crisis management.
Detailed description
Competency based medical education (CBME) is an outcomes-based approach to the design, implementation, assessment, and evaluation of medical education. The goals of Competency Based Medical Education are to improve patient safety, patient health outcomes, and enhance the competence and performance of individuals, groups and teams. Simulation-based training is a proven effective method to improve the skills and competency of the student by permit-ting repetitive practice before an actual procedure is performed on real patients. e Virtual reality simulation has been used successfully to teach technical skills such as laparoscopic surgery, carotid stenting, gall bladder surgery, and knee arthroscopy. The specific aims of this project are: 1. Build a multi-user, multi-site virtual reality simulator for anesthesia management and team training 2. Evaluate the simulation as a tool for competency based medical education 3. Compare the effectiveness of the simulator with mannequin based simulator for competency based medical education.
Interventions
OTHERTraining by Virtual Reality Simulation
Those Randomized 15 residents will be receive Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity simulation training by Virtual Reality simulation and after two weeks, they will be evaluated by investigators by using the same performance evaluation tool.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of tasks correctly performed | 1 hour | The primary outcome in performance evaluation is the number of tasks correctly performed during management of the Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity event. Investigators will use the same performance evaluation tool. The performance evaluation tool will assess the trainee's performance (i.e., medical management of Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity) per performance evaluation tool |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| use the Anesthesiologists' Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) tool | 1 hour | The Investigators will use the anesthesiologists' non-technical skills (ANTS) tool in the Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity Event (Data Collection Tools, Supplemental Digital Content 2, http://links.lww.com/AAP/A45) as described by Neal. |
