Using a checklist during simulation training significantly improves residents' ability to correctly organize the anesthesiologist's workplace.
Checklist integration in anesthesiology residency simulation may improve workplace readiness; extends evidence for structured tools in procedural training.
evaluate the frequency of mistakes made without it and with its use. Materials and methods. The study included 32 residents of the first year of study in the specialty «Anesthesiology and Resuscitation», who had previously held theoretical lectures on the topic: «Organization of the workplace of an anesthesiologist». In the simulation center, the subjects were asked to prepare the anesthesiologist’s workplace. The trainees were divided into two groups. The1 st group – performing the task without prior acquaintance with the checklist and the 2nd group – acquaintance with the checklist. The assessment was carried out by two teachers independently of each other using a checklist modified for objective assessment of the subjects. Results. In the 1 st group, 8 (50 %) students coped with the task, in the 2 nd group, in 15 cases (94 %), the task was successfully completed. Checking the availability of funds for tracheal intubation was successfully completed by trainees in both groups. At the same time, points were identified: a leak test and checking the correct functioning of the anesthetic-respiratory apparatus, which the subjects could not cope with, which required more detailed consideration, both in theoretical and practical classes of these issues. Conclusion. The use of the checklist: «Organization of the workplace of an anesthesiologist» allows to increase the effectiveness of training of residents and reduce the number of mistakes made.

Цыганков et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in First-year residents in Anesthesiology and Resuscitation (n=32). Checklist 'Organization of the workplace of an anesthesiologist' vs. No prior acquaintance with the checklist was evaluated on Successful preparation of the anesthesiologist's workplace (≥15 items or 70% of the checklist) (p=0.0019). Prior acquaintance with the checklist 'Organization of the workplace of an anesthesiologist' increased successful task completion to 94% compared to 50% without the checklist (p=0.0019).
