Key result
Simulation scenario trains anesthesiology learners to manage intraoperative pacemaker complications.
Why the study?
Nearly 3 million patients worldwide have implanted pacemakers with increasing complexity, and intraoperative pacemaker malfunctions due to electromagnetic interference and acute events require improved perioperative management understanding.
Population
Staff anesthesiologists, junior and senior anesthesia residents, and CRNAs in a simulation session
Comparison
Simulation session covering preoperative assessment, pacemaker dependency, EMI effects, pacemaker-mediated tachycardia, and failure of pacemaker capture
Design
Simulation-based educational intervention

May enhance anesthesiology training for rare pacemaker events; leaves open effects on clinical outcomes.
This educational simulation scenario provides a structured approach for anesthesiology learners to manage intraoperative pacemaker complications, including electromagnetic interference, pacemaker-mediated tachycardia, and loss of capture.
Wang et al. (2014) studied Intraoperative pacemaker failure. Simulation training for intraoperative pacemaker failure was evaluated on Demonstration of CanMEDS core competencies and management of pacemaker complications. A simulation scenario was developed to train anesthesiology learners in managing intraoperative pacemaker complications such as electromagnetic interference and loss of capture.
