Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialComputerized realistic simulation: a teaching module for crisis management in radiology.
Computerized realistic simulation technology has been used as a training tool in fields such as aviation and military training and in the nuclear power industry. More recently, it has been adapted for use in anesthesia crisis resource management. We describe the effectiveness of a simulation program like that used by anesthesiology departments that we developed to teach radiologists the principles of crisis management. ⋯ Although the critical assessment of a teaching method is difficult and subjective by nature, the improvement in behavioral performance scores suggests that simulation technology effectively conveyed the principles of crisis management. The course ratings show that the program was well accepted by participants.
