This two-part study was performed to identify and address anaesthetists' concerns regarding anaesthesia simulation and to evaluate the response of practitioners to simulation-based Anaesthesia Crisis Resource Management Training (ACRM). ⋯ Even though the majority of respondents have not been exposed to anaesthesia simulators, they appear to support their use in education strongly. Whereas substantial anxiety could delay the introduction of simulation based education, participants of ACRM workshops enjoy the courses and perceive them as very educational.
