Simulation-based training for cardiac surgical procedures allows for deliberate practice of tasks, which is anticipated to positively impact patient outcomes and safety.
Simulation-based training for cardiac surgical procedures allows for deliberate practice of simple and complex tasks, potentially improving patient outcomes and safety.
Supports simulation integration in cardiac surgery training; leaves open prospective trials confirming outcome benefits.
Simulation-based training in health care has been gaining momentum recently. Simulation of cardiac surgical procedures is now becoming a reality. Rehearsal and practice of simple tasks (knot tying) and complex tasks (managing emergencies) are a hallmark of high reliability teams. Simulation allows for individuals and teams to undergo deliberate practice for these situations and many feel that this will positively impact patient outcome and safety.
